Hey Ether,

The RobotPy repo is automatically synchronized (and is a pure mirror -- no robotpy specific changes), so it'll stay up to date. I personally find it much easier to deal with github than collab.net -- collab.net is terrible in so many ways, and I'm surprised FIRST is still using it.

To clone any git repo, you need to download+install git. Once you've got that taken care of, you go to some directory and from the command line do:

Code:
git clone https://github.com/robotpy/allwpilib
Alternatively, if you want to clone the "real" repo from collab.net (it's going to be slower to access than github).. you can do this:

Code:
git clone https://usfirst.collab.net/gerrit/allwpilib
Once you've got it cloned, you can cd into the directory, and anytime that you want to update it you can do the following:

Code:
git pull
If you want to make code changes, let me know and I can make sure that they get submitted for consideration and eventually committed.
