Repo Setup
All robot code lives in our GitHub organization. You’ll clone the correct repository to your laptop.
1 Prerequisites
- WPILib installed and working
- Git installed (
git --version) - GitHub access (ask a lead for invite)
2 Clone the Repo
git clone https://github.com/Ironclad5847/Ironclad-2025.git
cd Ironclad-2025
Open the folder in WPILib VS Code.
3 First Build & Vendor Deps
On first open, WPILib/Gradle will download vendor dependencies automatically.
Then run Ctrl + Shift + P → Build Robot Code.
If vendor libs fail to download, ensure you are connected to the Internet and try again.
4 Git Basics
| Action | Command |
|---|---|
| Check branch | git branch |
| Pull latest | git pull origin main |
| New branch | git checkout -b feature/my-change |
| Commit | git commit -am "message" |
| Push | git push origin feature/my-change |
Ironclad Convention
Branch names use lowercase-with-dashes. Example: feature/drivebase-tuning.
Open a pull request before merging to main.
