     13 Introduction to Git
     14 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     15 
     16 For those who want to live on the bleeding edge or who want to assist with
     17 making sure that the next release has fewer bugs, you will want to get acquainted
     18 with git.
     19 Git is used to manage the source code for this project and can be used to
     20 quickly and easily get an up-to-date copy of the source code.
     21 
     22 Getting the Source Code
     23 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     24 
     25 In order to get a copy of the ZynAddSubFX source code, all that needs to be done is:
     26 
     27 ---------------------------------------------
     28 git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/zynaddsubfx/code zynaddsubfx
     29 
     30 cd zynaddsubfx
     31 
     32 #Download additional resources
     33 git submodule init
     34 git submodule update
     35 ---------------------------------------------
     36 
     37 You should now be in the directory of the source code.
     38 
     39 For simple steps on building, please see Appendix B of the manual.
     40 
     41 Checking out a branch
     42 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     43 
     44 Lets say that development has extended into the creation of a new feature that
     45 you want to preview.
     46 For the sake of this guide, lets assume that the name of the branch that the
     47 feature is on is foo.
     48 
     49 -----------------------------------------
     50 #checkout the foo branch from sourceforge
     51 git checkout --track -b foo origin/foo
     52 
     53 #lets checkout the primary branch again
     54 git checkout master
     55 
     56 #hop back to the other branch
     57 git checkout foo
     58 ----------------------------------------
     59 
     60 Now one should be able to change branches and go into the build directory (as
     61 described in Appendix B) and recompile ZynAddSubFX.
     62 
     63 NOTE: When using branches other than the master be aware that stability may
     64       suffer
