[Simulavr-devel] Simulavr in GIT. HOWTO.

[Onno Kortmann]

Hi,

the ugly stuff has has been done, we can go technical again :-)

Simulavr is in git. The development takes place in branch

master

and the stabilizing for a possible release in branch

stable

What follows is a short shell log with added descriptions (#) on how to 
get the latest stuff when being in an empty directory. A developer needs 
to substitute the http-URL with his/her
SSH-Url. For example, I clone the repo with:

$ git clone ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/simulavr.git

That one is in on the new branch instead of the old can be seen in the 
listings below e.g. the 'branches.txt' file is only in 'master'.
As said, if you need help, ask!
A web repository browser is available at 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/simulavr.git/.

Best regards,

Onno
