If you cloned the Hercules repo to your local machine, you should be able to get updates directly using `git pull`,
however if you forked Hercules repo and clone your fork to your local machine, you will need to sync your fork with
the Hercules repo first. After that you should be able to do a git pull and get the updates.

Deym! I also not sure how to use git. Still using svn update and its so ancient haha.

1. How to clone

2. How to get update? Will my source or script mod remains when i update?

You can clone by using the git clone command followed by the url provided by the repository. Example for hercules:
git clone https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git

Or better yet, you can use tools like Github Desktop or Source Tree to make git a lot more doable :) 

Provided that your scripts and mods do not conflict with the updates, they should still be there after update. Otherwise, you will need to resolve merge conflicts.

`git pull` to pull updates from the repository

`git merge {branch_to_merge}` to merge two branches together

It's the same for all platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows, etc)
