How to to work with the mapping-data

We are keeping the actual data used by qgis in its own repository. That repository is managed with kart instead of git. From a user perspective kart works very similar to git, but it works with a geopackage file instead of the normal filesystem. To check out the geopackage file you need to:

1. Install kart
2. Clone pf-wikis/mapping-data into a directoy called mapping-data next to the directory containing this repo.
3. Open the qgis file in this repository. If everything is correct it should automatically find the data file for the layers.

How to check out the source images

The mapping files in this repository are created by tracing information from maps created by Paizo. These images are protected legally and thus can not be publicly shared. To access them follow these steps:

1. You will need access to the private external storage.
2. Clone this git repository.
3. Download and install DVC.
4. Within the repository root, run dvc install. This will setup some automatic git hooks so that dvc pushes when you push with git.
5. Run dvc pull to download the images. If this is the first time doing this you will have to authenticate yourself.
