== Git repository ==
[[wikipedia:Git|Git]] is a version control system, it is used primarily in software development. It tracks changes to files and helps in collaboration. With Git repository set up you can:
* Track and revert changes to your mod to any point prior.
* Share code, including links to specific lines with ease.
* Generate release packages from specific repository revisions, for the ease of download.
* Allow others to propose tweaks to your code with ease, which you can accept and merge in with a press of a button.

For the purpose of this tutorial we use popular [https://github.com/ GitHub] which offers free hosting service:
* Create a folder specifically for GitHub repositories, ie. <code>G:\GitHub\</code>
* Clone your mod folder to the above GitHub repositories folder. Rename cloned folder to something recognisable online if you want, in the example we rename <code>G:\GitHub\tutmod\</code> to <code>G:\GitHub\tutorial-mod-stellaris\</code>.
* Create GitHub account on [https://github.com/ GitHub homepage].
* Download and install GitHub desktop client (available for Windows and Mac, Linux has distro-specific clients you can look into).
* Open GitHub desktop client and login to your account (File > Options > Accounts). This is not strictly necessary but will allow you to push code to online repository. Further steps assume this is the case.
* File > New Repository.

Any changes to the repository simply require adding, removing or changing files in the repository folder. GitHub program monitors folder for any changes and will allow for update push if those are detected. Change of the code state is called a commit.
