Forking and cloning the {ProductName} XML rules

The {ProductName} windup-rulesets repository provides working examples of how to create custom Java-based rule add-ons and XML rules. You can use them as a starting point for creating your own custom rules.

You must have the git client installed on your machine.

1. Click the Fork link on the {ProductName} Rulesets GitHub page to create the project in your own Git. The forked GitHub repository URL created by the fork should look like this: https://github.com/<YOUR_USER_NAME>/windup-rulesets.git.

2. Clone your {ProductName} rulesets repository to your local file system:

   $ git clone https://github.com/<YOUR_USER_NAME>/windup-rulesets.git

3. This creates and populates a windup-rulesets directory on your local file system. Navigate to the newly created directory, for example

   $ cd windup-rulesets/

4. If you want to be able to retrieve the latest code updates, add the remote upstream repository so you can fetch any changes to the original forked repository.

   $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/windup/windup-rulesets.git

5. Get the latest files from the upstream repository.

   $ git fetch upstream
