C++ Project Version Control with Git

Anyone have a step by step on how to setup a Source Control using Git for a C++ Project?

I want to be able to setup it in a way things like plugins (like fgear etc.) will be pushed alongside the project, is there also a way of doing so that when i push other devs in the team won’t have to compile the whole project from zero, we have lot’s of people who don’t work with code and get the error that they recompile from source.

Appreciate it in advance :slight_smile:

Hey @M411!

Generally speaking, plugins are not actually contained in the project unless manually placed there, so they would not be able to be pushed with your source control. They would instead need to be installed already on the receiving machine or in the projects plugins folder.

Hope that helps make sharing your project files easier.

ok thanks :slight_smile:

But what about whenever other devs pull anything they have to build the project, how do I stop that from happening?
