Getting the Template

NOTE: While you can use a GUI for this, doing stuff on the command line should be much easier.

Clone the Latest version of the project from https://github.coventry.ac.uk/aa9863/FYP-Project-Template

Command for this is:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.coventry.ac.uk:aa9863/FYP-Project-Template.git

Cloning this project

The project makes use of git submodule functionality. Which means we need to clone the project in a slightly different way.

This is as simple as cloning with the --recurse-submodules flag

Command for this is:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.coventry.ac.uk:aa9863/FYP-Project-Template.git

What to do if you did a standard Clone

If we do a standard clone, then the Template directory exists but is empty.

git clone git@github.coventry.ac.uk:aa9863/FYP-Project-Template.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

Updating the Template Project

You shouldn't need to do this, but If i make changes to the base Template you can update the submodule

git submodule update --remote

Remember to CHECK THE README file to see if any changes need to be made to the scripts

TODO: Insstructions for doing this Via whatever GUI people may want
