- With <span class="productname">Git</span> you will make a copy of the entire code repository
- on your local machine, so you will have access to all history and branches
- offline. This is the fastest and most flexible way to develop or test
- patches.
- </p><div class="procedure" id="id-1.11.10.5.3"><p class="title"><strong>Git</strong></p><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li class="step"><p>
- You will need an installed version of <span class="productname">Git</span>, which you can
- get from <a class="ulink" href="https://git-scm.com" target="_top">https://git-scm.com</a>. Many systems already
- have a recent version of <span class="application">Git</span> installed by default, or
- available in their package distribution system.
- </p></li><li class="step"><p>
- To begin using the Git repository, make a clone of the official mirror:
-
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- git clone https://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
- </pre><p>
-
- This will copy the full repository to your local machine, so it may take
- a while to complete, especially if you have a slow Internet connection.
- The files will be placed in a new subdirectory <code class="filename">postgresql</code> of
- your current directory.
- </p><p>
- The Git mirror can also be reached via the Git protocol. Just change the URL
- prefix to <code class="literal">git</code>, as in:
-
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
- </pre><p>
-
- </p></li><li class="step"><p>
- Whenever you want to get the latest updates in the system, <code class="command">cd</code>
- into the repository, and run:
-
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- git fetch
- </pre><p>
- </p></li></ol></div><p>
- <span class="productname">Git</span> can do a lot more things than just fetch the source. For
- more information, consult the <span class="productname">Git</span> man pages, or see the
- website at <a class="ulink" href="https://git-scm.com" target="_top">https://git-scm.com</a>.
