• First steps:

  1. Download a Git-Client, we recommend TortoiseGit https://tortoisegit.org/ or GitExtensions https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions
  2. Register at https://tum3d.in.tum.de:80/ged/register.php with your RBG-Username.
     The RBG-Username is NOT your TUMonline account. It is a separate account used to access e.g. the "Rechnerhalle" or the online printing service. If you don't have an RBG-Username, see below
  3. Clone https://tum3d.in.tum.de:80/git/SS20/GED/<username> and https://tum3d.in.tum.de:80/git/SS20/GED/external into the same parent folder, e.g.
     C:/local/ged/<username>/ and C:/local/ged/external/
     All slides and assignment will be published in the external-repository
  4. Install Visual Studio (the free Community Edition is sufficient). You need the following components:
     - Desktop development with C++ / Desktopentwicklung it C++
     - Game development with C++ / Spieleentwicklung it C++
      

• How to get a new RBG account:

  1. Send a mail to the RBG (rbg@in.tum.de), they will create a new account for you and inform you by mail.
  2. Once you receive the mail, you have to sign the Terms of Use (https://wiki.in.tum.de/Informatik/Benutzerwiki/NutzungsRichtlinien), account-only is enough, and send them to the RBG by regular mail (Post). Digital signatures or scans by e-mail are not accepted, I asked.
     Technische Universität München

  3. The RBG will arrange a time and date for a video conference with you where they will give you the passphrase for your account orally.
