Best method for compiling the custom Firmware

[pablo_paul]

I'm going to compile the custom altitude hold firmware and update the UI files but whats the best method?

Pull the custom firmware down to a clean folder and run the same commands to compile the vanilla firmware And then upload as normal?
And then just swap out the python files from the UI?

Sorry for the stupid questions i've been learning python for the last 6 months and haven't done anything like this.

to answer my own question the easiest method is to copy the repo link from bit bucket into tortoiseHG which is on the VM desktop http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/0.9/clone.html.

you can then compile the firmware as normal (method shown in wiki) and just run the python code from its cloned location because python doesn't need compiling to run.
