= Git Source Repository =

Deluge's source code is always available through our [http://git.deluge-torrent.org/ Git repository].

To get a copy of the code, you will need to clone it from the repository then see the [wiki:'Installing/Source' Installation Guide].

For more in depth-git usage see GitTips and GitCommit.

== Initial Clone ==

The first step is to clone our git repos:

{{{
git clone git://deluge-torrent.org/deluge.git
}}}

This will create a ''deluge'' directory with a copy of the repo so if you change into this directory you can start using git commands. 

== Selecting Branch ==

There are multiple branches or tags that you can choose from, but the main two are the current stable branch and the development branch.  

List the branches, including remote branches:

{{{
git branch -a
}}}

If you want to use a different branch than the default selected (''master'') then you will need to create a local copy of the remote branch. In this example we create branch '1.3-stable' as a local copy of the remote branch 'origin/1.3-stable' and switch to it:

{{{
git checkout -b 1.3-stable origin/1.3-stable
}}}

To switch between your local branches use the following commands:

 '''Development:'''
{{{
git checkout master
}}}

 '''Stable:'''
{{{
git checkout 1.3-stable
}}}

Either of these commands will show the current branch you are using:

{{{
git branch
git status
}}} 


== Updating ==

You only need to do a clone once, after that you can simply update the branch by ''pulling'' changes from the repo.

Assuming you are in the folder you cloned to:
{{{
git pull
}}}

Now your tree is synchronized to the latest revision in our repository!
