Since files are stored as binary (unreadable to humans) it is important that no two file have a merge conflict. This can be done by "locking" a file when we edit it which prevents others from making changes to it at the same time.
To Lock a file, right click in the folder the file is in and select "Git bash here". Then enter the command:
git lfs lock FILENAME.Ext
To Unlock a file use the command:
git lfs unlock FILENAME.Ext
The command ls will list all the files in the current folder if you don't know the extension. To see all the files that are currently locked, git lfs locks will list who has locked what.
To sumarize the editing process:
- Pull the current files from the server
- Lock the file using
git lfs lock FILENAME - Edit the file
- Add changes to the commits
git add FILENAMEorgit add --all - Commit the edits with a description using GitHub Desktop with
git commit -m 'MESSAGE GOES HERE' git pullandgit pushthe new commits to the server (Contact Neko'z or Galbatorix if you get an error!)- Unlock the file using
git lfs unlock FILENAME
Yay!
