Do not use the official "git for Windows" client software as it doesn't understand symlinks in the WSL filesystem (which is what we use on Windows). Use VS Code which understands WSL or a command line git in a WSL terminal window.

"Git is a 4 handle, dual boiler espresso machine – when all you need is instant."

Once you've downloaded and installed a git client, the first step is to create what is called a checkout of the data management system. This creates a copy on your machine which you can edit to your heart's content. The command to initially check out ('clone') the entire expo data management system is:

git clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com:expoweb

+

git clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/~/expoweb

for subsequent updates

git update

will generally do the trick.
