Bonsai_Tutorials/_Setup

The videos are currently encrypted--the following steps will allow you to unlock them for viewing. If you're not familiar using a command line these steps might be intimidating, but these workflows are quite common, and there's a ton of resources on the web, and with AI, to troubleshoot anything missteps.

In other words, I think you can do it!

1. Install Git.

   • Don't forget to set up these settings.

2. Install a Git client.

   • There are many to choose from. A few friendly ones:
     • TortoiseGit (Windows only)
       • The one i recommend.
     • Gitnuro: (Windows/Linux/Mac)

3. Sync the Bonsai_Tutorials repo to your machine. (This will take some time, as it's a pretty big repo.)

   • If using TortoiseGit, Here's a video.
   • If using Gitnuro, Here's a video.
     • there's been reports, when using Gitnuro, that it freezes up when syncing the repo. If so, try pulling manually, instead. Instructions Here

4. Go here to create a GPG key (will need this to unlock the videos).

   • Email me (ryan@openingdesign.com) with your public key.
     • The file will have an .asc extension.
   • Let me know your preferred username and I will create an account on hub.OpeningDesign.com.

5. Unlocking repo.

   • After purchasing, and after receiving an email that you're been added to hub.OpeningDesign.com, pull down the latest. Here's how to pull changes...
     • With Gitnuro
     • With TortoiseGIT
   • After pulling, follow the steps here to unlock the repo.
   • The videos should now be unlocked and viewable!
