Development environment - GeoSmartCity-CIP/gsc-client GitHub Wiki

The following should describe the complete setup you will need for developing the GSC javascript framework.

Download and install GIT

After installation, a few git settings must be configured correctly.

# This is very important!
git config --global push.default simple
