Recommendation on keeping code up to date

  This is a problem we face as we are still getting to know git ourselves (was actually researching better ways to do it yesterday). Try the following:
  
  1. Browse to a directory you want to make your changes (example):
  cd /var/www/path/to/my/dir/
  2. Type the following in your terminal window ("repo" is the folder name it will create)
  git clone git@github.com:daylightstudio/FUEL-CMS.git "repo"
  3. Make your changes
  4. Do merges with
  git pull
  
  Any conflicts with the pull will be flagged as such and will need to be resolved. Let me know if that works for you or you have issues.

  I will give this a shot and let you know how it goes. Also, another minor question, I need to update the 404 layout, should I update the template in the application/errors directory or is there a special view file I should put into the layouts directory to override the template?

  The default 404 page that comes with FUEL is used as a starting point and is what should be modified. We often will need to go in there and make changes. It was a way for us to load in the layout without having to copy and past the raw generated HTML.

  Just set a site up with git clone looks like everything is working great ... won't know how pull works until there are new updates but so far everything seems to have worked great. Wondering how the merge function will work... I will keep you up to date with how things go.

  Just pulled down the most recent version of the code and had a couple of additional steps I had to take. Here were the steps:
  
  git pull
  which had conflicts since my changes are not checked in of course
  
  git stash save
  this was recommend to save my changes to the side so I could pull the latest from the repository
  
  git pull
  pulled down the changes
  
  git stash list
  to find the stash id
  
  git stash apply [stash id from list]
  update newer version with my changes
  
  git stash drop OR
  git stash pop OR
  git stash clear
  to clear saved stashes
  
  Anyway, hope this is helpful. This seems to be the best way to keep a site up to date with the changes that are being made to the repository.

  Good to know.
  
  As an FYI, for those that are on the Mac and would like a nice GUI for git, you should try Tower:
  http://www.git-tower.com/
  
  It's currently in beta, but is pretty nice. I tend to use the command line for most stuff because it can be quicker and easier in most cases, but sometimes the GUI comes in handy.

  Ok GIT is a little bit hard to get used to. Maybe somebody can make a tutorial for dummies. Or even better maybe on the to do list we can make space for an update module Wordpress style. I would like to help but I am quite new to CI so it will take some time

  That's a good idea to do a blog post on the subject. An update module would be nice as well, but as you can imagine, can be pretty tricky to implement. GIT is a cheap, although sometimes challenging, way for us to do it until we are able to bridge that gap.

  Try using this instead:
  https://github.com/daylightstudio/FUEL-CMS.git
  
  Or you can look into creating an SSH key:
