+# EGit
+Since we are keeping this in a Git repository, you need to have EGit installed in your Eclipse
+
+# Setting up the repository
+1. Open the Git Repository perspective
+1. Choose the icon for "clone a Git repository and add the clone to this view"
+
+    2.1. Use the URL for this repository and your github credentials
+
+    2.2. Choose "master" for the branch
+
+    2.3. For the directory, pick your Eclipse workspace
+
+    2.4. Let it add projects to your workspace.  It should create five projects for the five parts of the system.
+
+# Making a branch
+No one should make changes directly to the Master branch of the repository.  That is kept pristine except for new releases (think of it as a release stream).  When we start new development on something, we will agree on a branching structure.
+
+When you want to create a branch, go to the Git Repositories perspective, right click on the repository and select "Switch to -> Create Branch."  Give the branch a name and you are ready to go.  You can use that "Switch to" to see the current version of any branch.  If we want a branch to pick up the changes in the Master branch, we can "rebase" it.
+
+When something is ready to be released, the project manager (Merlin!) will merge the branch back into the Master.

+# Run Configurations Setup  
+
+## Command Line Arguments
+
+**LoginServer** *(always listens to port 1871)*
+* --localhost - will use the test RDS database
+* --production - will use the production RDS database
+
+**GameServer**
+* --port=x - will listen for connections on that port number
+* --map=x - specifies the map file the server should manage (required)
+* --localhost - will cause it to use the test RDS database
+* --production - will cause it to use the production RDS database
+
+**GameClient**
+* --loginhost - the hostname of the machine running the login server
+
+**GameManager**
+* --localhost - will use the test RDS database
+* --db= - will specify which RDS database will be used
+
+## Creating a run configuration
+After have imported the project into IntelliJ, you will need to create a few run configurations.
+<br />
+There will already be a few loaded, so below are the steps to create a new one.
+
+1) First, click the "Edit Configurations..." button in the top right of the window, which will open a window titled "Run/Debug Configurations". <br />
+The image below will guide you to the correct location. <br/>
+![image](uploads/edit-configurations.png)
+
+2) Next, click the plus in the top left and select "Application".
+## Running locally
+To run the game on your machine, use these run configurations for the Login Server and Game Servers with the following arguments:   
+
+Name: LoginServer  
+Project: LoginServer   
+Main Class: LoginServer  
+Arguments:  --localhost
+
+Name: ServerCurrent  
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1872 --map=current.tmx --localhost
+
+Name: ServerQuiznasium  
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1873 --map=quiznasium.tmx --localhost  
+
+Name: ServerStudyHall  
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1874 --map=homework.tmx --localhost  
+
+Name: ServerSortingRoom  
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1875 --map=sortingRoom.tmx --localhost  
+
+Name: WellingtonRoom  
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1876 --map=wellingtonRoom.tmx --localhost
+
+Name: ServerMCTRoom
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1877 --map=mct1.tmx --localhost
+
+Name: ServerTheGreen
+Project: GameServer   
+Main Class: edu.ship.shipsim.areaserver.Server  
+Arguments:  --port=1878 --map=theGreen.tmx --localhost
+
+Name: GameClient-desktop
+Project: DesktopClient    
+Arguments: --localhost
+
+Name: GameManager    
+Project: GameManager    
+Main Class: manager.GameManager    
+Arguments: --localhost --db=x (where x is your database identifier)
+
+## Running in production for testing
+To test using the production database, change the --localhost arguments for all run configurations to --production **except** GameClient-desktop, which should still use the --localhost argument. Since you are running the servers on your local machine, the client needs to know that they are being run locally.
+
+## Setup JavaFX for GameManager
+
+If JavaFX isn't already configured on your machine, follow this guide to adding it to Eclipse.
