-(load (build-path geda-rc-path "gschem-lightbg"))+We prefere to add the library for each project as a git sub-module, referring to the 
 +exact version of library that match this project.

 +===== Create a new project ===== 
 + 
 +  * Create a new directory for the project 
 +  * Init a git repository 
 +  * Clone the gEda_Library repos to Libs (With git submodule) 
 +  * Copy gitignore from Libs/Config/gitignore to .gitignore 
 +  * Launch install script (./Libs/install.sh) 
 +<code bash> 
 +  mkdir ~/Projects 
 +  cd ~/Projects 
 +  mkdir mynewproject 
 +  cd mynewproject 
 +  git init

 +  git submodule add git@git.bolay.co:gEDA_library.git Libs 
 +  cp Libs/Config/gitignore .gitignore 
 +  ./Libs/install.sh
 </code> </code>
  
--- copy gschemrc to gnetlistrc+When cloning a project from git.bolay.co, don't forget to do: 
 +<code bash> 
 +  git clone git@git.bolay.co:MyProject.git 
 +  git submodule init 
 +  git submodule update 
 +   
 +  git pull origin <branch>   
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Or  
 + 
 +<code bash> 
 +  git clone --rerursive git@git.bolay.co:MyProject.git 
 +  cd MyProject 
 +  git pull origin <branch> 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +When you want to modify a libray: 
 +<code bash> 
 +  ./Libs/install.sh 
 +  cd Libs/ 
 +  git checkout origin/develop # Don't forget 
 +   
 +  # Do something 
 +  git commit -am "Message like Add DS18B20.sym" 
 +  git push # Don't forget 
 +  cd .. 
 +  git commit -am "Update gEda Library"
