Hi Rene,
as the ReadMe.md mentions, the project is created using PowerBASIC for Windows.
You need this compiler to compile the module.
If Git and GitHub is a new thing for you completely, I would suggest you first to learn:
- what is a repository
- what is a branch
- what is a pull request
You can learn more here:

Git is a tool for version control, fully replacing the need to backup your project to ZIP files, backup directories and so on. It allows you to take snapshots at given time, and return to any state of the project even if you run out of Undo in your IDE (simplified view, but this is where I see a value ). Another level of added value is that it adds the ability to collaborate on the same files with multiple people, thanks to storage at GitHub / GitLab / Stash / ... other hostings.
I suggest to start experimenting with git first:
- I suggest to get Git for Windows and GitExtensions to be able to visually track changes
- Excercise:
--> create an empty directory (hint: git clone)
--> create a text file there and create a commit (hint: git status, git add, git commit)
--> change the file and create a new commit
--> use GitExtensions to view the directory and what happened in there. Examine the Diff between the commits
Once confident, you gained a skill required for most developer positions (congratulations!) and you can proceed to module contribution.
Let me know if this helps,
Petr
