Cloning

If you do not have Git installed foremost you need to install it at https://git-scm.com/download.

Once installed you need to clone OpenVic:

git clone https://github.com/OpenVicProject/OpenVic.git

After cloning you must initialize and update the submodules:

cd OpenVic
git submodule update --init --recursive

Updating the submodules is neccessary every time the dependencies are updated, if you're unsure, on every git pull you should also call git submodule update --init --recursive

To update the repo you must pull the repo:

git pull

Git may install a gui with it, this gui can be a useful external tool for doing things related to git, (especially commits) you can open it via git gui.

Further tutorials and documentation on git can be found at https://git-scm.com/book.
