; What is Git? What's a repository?
: Git is software that helps track changes to your code, and a ''repository'' is a folder containing your mod files plus special files for Git tracking. You don't really need to know how it works at this point; we'll walk you through getting your code up and making changes (and you can look up Git tutorials if you want to dig deeper).

; Doesn't this only apply for SMAPI mods?
: Nope! Although content packs aren't compiled, other modders can't legally make changes without a code license. Note that 'permissions' options on sites like Nexus are legally iffy (e.g. who has copyright on derivatives? Can derivatives be relicensed?), so it's a good idea to have a code license for content packs too. That also lets other modders contribute pull requests and updates.
