# Downloading Charts from TJADB's Gitea
## 1. Download GitHub Desktop
The easiest way to download charts from TJADB's Gitea, for users unfamiliar with how Git works, is [GitHub Desktop](https://github.com/apps/desktop). You might also be asked to create a GitHub account during setup.
*GitHub accounts are not related to TJADB's Gitea accounts, and will not be compatible between each other.*
## 2. Clone a Repository
Pick a charter folder you want to download from the [Explore](https://ese.tjadataba.se/explore/repos) tab. For this example, [Colin/Best_Of_TJADB](https://ese.tjadataba.se/Colin/Best_of_TJADB) will be used.
Click "Clone repository..." on the top-left corner. For first-time users of GitHub Desktop, there will be a button called "Clone a repository from the internet..." on-screen instead.

From here, enter the URL of the repository you want to download, and choose where you want the folder to be downloaded (ideally, this should be in a location where you and/or the TJA program should be able to find it).
*You must make sure the folder that are the files are being downloaded to is empty first.*

During download, you may be asked to enter your Gitea username/password to clone the repository. You can leave these fields blank, especially if you don't have a Gitea account at all.
Depending on the size of the repository, you may have to wait for a while before the entire folder is completely downloaded.
# Updating Folders
Cloning a repository means more than just downloading a bunch of files, as you can now check for any updates to the charter's folder, and download those new changes.
To check for any new updates to a folder, click the "Fetch origin" button.

If nothing happens after clicking it, that means you're up-to-date and have nothing new to download.
Otherwise, you will see a "Pull origin" prompt, which you can use to download all the newest updates to that charter's folder.
