Using Sample Projects

Version Compatibility

Before downloading or cloning any sample project, verify your Overload version to ensure compatibility. Sample projects are maintained for the latest release, but previous versions remain accessible through Git tags.

Finding the Right Version

Each sample project uses a structured tagging system to track version compatibility:

Tag Format: made-for-overload-v{version}

Example: For Overload v1.5, look for the made-for-overload-v1.5 tag.

Getting the Latest Updates

Tags mark major version upgrades, but projects may receive updates between versions. To find the most recent update for your Overload version:

1. Locate the tag for the next version (e.g., made-for-overload-v1.5 if you're using v1.4)
2. Navigate to the commit immediately before that tag
3. This represents the latest update compatible with your version

Example: For the latest Overload v1.4 compatible version, find the made-for-overload-v1.5 tag and use the previous commit.

Getting Started

1. Check your Overload version
2. Navigate to the desired sample project repository
3. Use Git tags to find the appropriate version
4. Clone or download the compatible version
5. Follow the project's README for setup instructions
