Hi Andy, No, skip that part and scroll down to 'Cloning an Existing Repository'. I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to find the command line. You do need to have Git installed, and how you do that will depend on which OS you're using. There are some GUI versions of Git around, but I've never used any of them, so can't advise you there. Hope you can get farther! Martin.KD6YAM On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 7:45 AM, andy thomas andythomasmail@yahoo.co.uk wrote:

But thank you for the advice anyhow. It will benefit someone on the -bb.

Hi Andy, If you just want to grab the source, you can just clone to your local machine using 'git clone'. See 'Cloning an Existing Repository' here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/ v1/Git-Basics-Getting-a-Git- Repository
If you want to be able to contribute back changes, though, you'll want to fork the repo and work from there. See: https://guides.github.com/ activities/forking/
It's pretty straightforward, if a little different from other source control systems like Subversion. Feel free to ask if you have questions. Martin.KD6YAM On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 7:23 AM, andy thomas via AMSAT-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org wrote:

Just as a side note here for those stuck on Windows needing basic Unix/Linux functionality in command line and X it’s useful to have mobaXterm installed.

One can also install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) and add the X server package (http://x.cygwin.com/).

True, I left that out. MobaXterm is Cygwin underneath they just package the various components nicely.

On windows install the excellent git scm. This gives you a Linux like terminal. In that you can type git clone <url from github> and it will pull down the Repo.

Isn't there a "Download" button option where you can get the code as a Zip file? If that's all you want (not all the git functionality), why not simply choose that?
You probably don't have the rest of the tool chain anyway...
