Acquiring Lumberyard source

Each release of Lumberyard exists as a separate branch in GitHub. You can get Lumberyard from GitHub using the following steps:

Fork the repository

Forking creates a copy of the Lumberyard repository in your GitHub account. Your fork becomes the remote repository into which you can push changes.

Clone the repository

Cloning the repository will copy your fork onto your local computer. To clone the repository, click the "Clone or download" button in the GitHub web site, then copy the resultant URL to the clipboard. Then, from a command prompt, type git clone [URL], where [URL] is the URL you copied in the previous step.

See the GitHub documentation for more information about cloning a repository.

Downloading additive files

Once the repository exists locally on your machine, manually execute git_bootstrap.exe found at the root of the repository. This application will perform a download operation for Lumberyard binaries required prior to using or building the engine.

Running SetupAssistant

git_bootstrap.exe will launch the Setup Assistant when it completes. Setup Assistant lets you configure your environment and launch the Lumberyard editor.
