When the server has been updated there will sometimes be a requirement for the client to also be updated. In order to do that you will need to configure your Windows PC where the client is located to use Git.
## Instructions:
# Initial Git Setup For The SWG Client
You can download the v1.2.1 client from [here](https://bit.ly/SWGSourceClient121).
You can download the v3.0 client from [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZNe6C2G00yypSfhPqiue8SWqz8F6fdd7/view?usp=sharing).
If you haven't already, please install Git for Windows https://git-scm.com/download/win
Unpack the zip wherever you'd like (You'll need 7-zip).
* Now right click on your SWG client folder and choose **Git Bash Here** from the menu
Double-click on UpdateSwgClient.bat to get the rest of the stuff you need.

That's it!
* Run these commands: **git reset --hard** and then **git pull**
Double-click on UpdateSwgClient.bat again to get updates.

Once that is done you will have downloaded the latest client patches, no further action is required on the client side at this point.
# Updating The Client On An Ongoing Basis
Periodically there will be content restorations performed by SWG Source and those can be downloaded for use in a similar manner.
* Right click on your SWG client folder and choose **Git Bash Here** from the menu
* Run this command: **git pull**

Add a shortcut to it on your desktop or start menu or whatever to make updates super easy!
