I needed this. Your site came up first. I freaking know you. That’s pretty sweet.

On Windows you need to ensure you have git installed via cygwin. Then in cygwin you can use the command documented above.

if the above doesn’t work, try:
git clone git://github.com/foo/kung-foo.git vendor/plugins/kung-foo && rm -rf vendor/plugins/kung-foo/.git

I’m completely new to Rails (and new to programming) and am in the process of developing a social network. I am trying to install the restful authentication plug-in with no luck. I’m using rails 2.1.1 and Windows XP. Where do I download this plug-in from? and once downloaded, what file do I put it in? (e.g., should I include in the InstantRails folder?)

Is the fact that you used the modular branch kept in your project somewhere, so when you come back to it a couple of monnths later, you can easily find out that RA isn’t working as expected cos your using modular instead of master?

Also is there any way to update the plugin correctly?

This is just for Github you know. It works with any git repo.
