Instructions

Saving Code

• If any version of code is selected (i.e. highlighed in green), press the Esc key to deselect it.
• Type the description of the changes you have made since last saving the code in the box at the top left corner.
• If this version of code was used at a competition, press the Comp button. It should turn green. This is an optional step, but it is recommended to help organize your code.
• Press the green save button.

Loading Code

• Ensure you have saved your code so that you don't lose any progress.
• Select the version you want to go back two. It should turn green.
• Press the green load button.
• You will receive one last warning reminding you to save your code. If you have, press OK, otherwise press Cancel and go back to step 1.
• Depending on your IDE, you may have to relaunch it to see the changes take effect.

Easy Install

Coming Soon (soon meaning possibly sometime)

Manual Install

1. Clone this repository

2. Fill out config.json

{
  "codeDir": "BASE DIRECTORY OF YOUR CODE",
  "remote": "PATH TO A GIT REPOSITORY STORED ON A FLASH DRIVE OR ON THE FILESYSTEM",
  "lastCommit": "master (don't change this)" 
}

The code folder should be something like src/main/java/frc for teams using Java. Other folders may work as long as they contain the code and stay consistent.

3. Install the dependencies

Assuming you have NodeJS installed, type the command npm i into your terminal.

4. Build the Executable

Next run the command npm run make to build your executable.

5. Move config.json into the same directory as the executable
