Steps for downloading the plugins

In our workshop's gitlab repository we have placed some projects. In order to follow the hands-on you will need to download them and place them somewhere where the evaluation system (i.e. XCES) will be able to see them.

First thing we will go to (e.g.) our /home directory and create a folder that will contain these projects:

$ cd ~
$ mkdir plugin-workshop
$ cd plugin-workshop/

Now, we will download the repositories. To download a git repository there 3 ways:

1. download it. You can download it in different formats (zip, tar, etc.) but it will be downloaded to your local folder (your pc's folder) and then you will need to move it to your DKRZ's /home directory anyway.
2. clone it via https. Advantage: straightforward. Disadvantage: need to type <username> and <password> everytime.
3. clone it via ssh. Advantage: no need to type <username> and <password> everytime. Disadvantage: you previously need an ssh key for that. This will be shown in the workshop.

Currently, we will use the most straightforward way, i.e., via https, for that we only need to copy the address `https://gitlab.dkrz.de/freva/plugins4freva/plugin_workshop/wetdry.git` and (in your newly created folder) follow the instructions entering your username and password:

$ git clone https://gitlab.dkrz.de/freva/plugins4freva/plugin_workshop/wetdry.git
Cloning into 'wetdry'...
 
Username for 'https://gitlab.dkrz.de': <username>
 
Password for 'https://<username>@gitlab.dkrz.de':

Now we can go to our plugin and look its contents:

$ cd wetdry
