Xonotic uses [several Git repositories](Git). The `all` script in the main repo manages them, builds Xonotic and runs it. Each repo can also contain feature branches next to the stable `master` branch, check them out for WIP features.

+Build Requirements
+------------------
-Setting up the development environment
---------------------------------------
+Make sure you have at least 2GB memory to compile. This is enough for a git server, but 6GB is required to play using a git client.
-Make sure you have at least 2 GB memory to compile.
+[About 12GB of disk space is required for the git repositories.](Git)
### Linux
Note: The `all` script requires either `wget` or `curl`.
-**Ubuntu Dependencies**:
+**Ubuntu** dependencies:
- sudo apt-get install autoconf build-essential curl git libtool libgmp-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libsdl2-dev libxpm-dev xserver-xorg-dev zlib1g-dev
+ sudo apt-get install autoconf build-essential curl git libtool libgmp-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libsdl2-dev libxpm-dev xserver-xorg-dev zlib1g-dev unzip zip
Note: On Debian, use `libjpeg62-turbo-dev` if `libjpeg-turbo8-dev` isn’t available in the package repositories.
**Archlinux** dependencies:
- sudo pacman -S alsa-lib curl git libjpeg-turbo libmodplug libpng libvorbis libxpm libxxf86dga libxxf86vm sdl2 unzip
+ sudo pacman -S alsa-lib curl git libjpeg-turbo libmodplug libpng libvorbis libxpm xorgproto libxxf86vm sdl2 unzip zip
### Windows
By default, Windows has no real environment to handle the necessary scripting and compiling tools for building Xonotic. So, what we have to do is install something called [MSYS2](http://www.msys2.org) to allow us to have a similar environment as on Linux. Download 64 bit version of MSYS2 (msys2-x86_64-xxxxxx.exe) and follow installation instructions.
-Once you have completed the installation, launch the MSYS2 shell by running `mingw64.exe` (instead of the default msys2.exe) by default located at `C:\msys64` and install the needed **dependencies** with this command:
+Once you have completed the installation, close the current MSYS2 shell and launch a MSYS2 MINGW64 shell by running mingw64.exe (instead of the default msys2.exe) located at C:\msys64 and install the needed dependencies with this command:
pacman --needed -S git curl zip unzip p7zip make automake autoconf libtool gcc gmp-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-{toolchain,gmp,SDL2,libjpeg-turbo,libpng,libogg}
You must first install **XCode** which comes on your installation DVD or can be downloaded from the Apple website. This package provides tools like **Git and GCC**, which are needed for successful checkout and compilation of Xonotic. Some versions of XCode come with Git and others don’t - if you don’t have Git after installing XCode get it here: [XCode installer](http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/)

-Cloning the repository and compiling
+Cloning the Repository and Compiling
------------------------------------
To begin downloading:
- git clone git://git.xonotic.org/xonotic/xonotic.git # download main repo
+ git clone https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic.git # download main repo
cd xonotic
./all update -l best # download all other repos (data + game logic, maps, etc.)
-The **git://** protocol uses port **9418**, which may be a problem if you’re behind a **strict firewall**. You may instead use the clone url http://git.xonotic.org/xonotic/xonotic.git (however, using the git protocol directly is preferred for performance reasons).
-
Now the game can be compiled and run with the following commands:
./all compile -r
If you run into issues with the latest version you can easily revert to an older one. Since most bugs are caused by the game code rather that the engine, you just need to downgrade that repository. Inside the main xonotic repository, use `cd data/xonotic-data.pk3dir` and then `git checkout <some older commit>`. After that go back `cd -` and `./all compile` (with the optional `-r` flag).

-Contributing and getting write access
+Contributing and Getting Write Access
-------------------------------------
Cloning (one of) our repos and submitting MRs from there (as in any other project) works but you won't be able to use our CI setup for the data repo (which seems to need a custom runner). It's therefore a good idea to join the Xonotic group and get push access - then you can create branches in our repos and use our CI.
A condition for write (push) access is that you agree that any code or data you push will be licensed under the General Public License, version 2, with or without the “or any later version” clause. In case the directory the changes apply to contains a LICENSE or COPYING file indicating another license, then your pushed code has to be dual licensed appropriately. Subdirectories currently having a dual license:
-\* data/qcsrc/warpzonelib - dual licensed as “GPLv2 or later” or MIT license.
+
+* `data/xonotic-data.pk3dir/qcsrc/lib/warpzone` - dual licensed as “GPLv2 or later” or MIT license.
+
In case the code you pushed was not written by you, it is your responsibility to ensure proper licensing.
To apply for write access, add your SSH key to your GitLab account and ask for access in #xonotic on the FreeNode IRC network or [request access](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/group/index.html#request-access-to-a-group) using the GitLab interface.

-General contributor guidelines
+General Contributor Guidelines
------------------------------
1. Before creating your local branch and committing to it, make sure you’ve configured your user settings such as your name which will display in the logs (in TortoiseGit: Settings > Git > Config).
-2. Try naming your branch myname/mychange for each patch. For instance, if your name is Alex and the change you are committing is a menu fix, use something like alex/menufix.
