====== Click Git Information ======

Click sources are maintained in a [[http://git.or.cz/|Git]] repository.
Most Click developers and users should rely on the Git sources (or the [[cvs|anonymous CVS version]]), since we [[download|release]] Click infrequently.
Git is a distributed source control management system.

===== Installing Git =====

First, [[http://git.or.cz/|download and install git]], version 1.5.0 or greater.  Ready-to-install packages are available for major Linux variants and for [[http://www.macports.org/|MacPorts]] on Mac OS X, among others.  On Windows, it is probably easier to use [[cvs]], but [[http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/WindowsInstall|Windows installations are possible]].

===== Fetching from Git =====

To fetch the Click repository into a local directory called DIR:

<code>
% git clone git://read.cs.ucla.edu/git/click DIR
</code>

This downloads the Click sources, including complete change history, into about 37MB of disk space.
Then, ''cd DIR'' and run ''./configure OPTIONS'' and build as usual.  Life will be easier if you have autoconf-2.59 or higher.

To update to the latest version checked in to the public repository, change into your working copy directory ''DIR'' and run:

<code>
% git pull
</code>

To fetch the Click [[packages]]:

<code>
% git clone git://read.cs.ucla.edu/git/click-packages DIR
</code>
