- You will generally only have to do this once until the Forge version in
- Execute
gradle build
. If you did everything right,BUILD SUCCESSFUL

- If you have, try reverting them to the status that they were when you last updated your repository.
- Execute
git pull master
. This pulls all commits from the official repository that do not yet exist on your local repository and updates it.
