To use this library most effectively, download the GitHub application for your computer. Once installed you will have the option to clone this repository. Clone it to Documents\Arduino\libraries. This will allow for easy updates and usage within Arduino.
Once in your libraries folder you can view the example sketches in Arduino through File -> Examples -> Silverback -> .... The examples show how to effectively use each library.
To update your library open the Git Shell application and type: (without the $)
$ cd ../Arduino/libraries/Silverback
$ git pull origin master
This will reset your library to the most up-to-date version from the online repository and will be ready to use the next time you open Arduino.
If you have made changes to the repository, like adding a file, or modifying an existing file, you must make a commit and a pull request. Visit this link to learn how to do this with the Git Shell command line. You can also do this through the GitHub App on Windows or on Mac.
