Are you certain that you have the latest version?  IIRC we added
git-cl in lilydev-1.1.  It was certainly one of the last things
that was added.  We certainly don't expect new contributors to
install git-cl themselves!

It's probably not worth downloading a new lilydev just for this,
though.

Yes, although you'll need to use git to get the repository.

if your lilydev has a bin/  (lilydev 1.1 certainly does), then
  cd bin
  ln -s $HOME/path/to/git-cl-source-code/git-cl
should do the trick.  Without knowing the exact directory you have
the git-cl source code in, I can't be more specific.

No.  You need to type the
  git cl upload origin/master
on the command-line yourself.  (or just copy&paste from the CG)
