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.

# Initial Git Setup For The SWG Client
If you haven't already, please install Git for Windows https://git-scm.com/download/win

* Now right click on your SWG client folder and choose **Git Bash Here** from the menu

* Run this command: **git checkout master**

* Run this command: **git pull**

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**
