1.2.1.2 Tracking the Git Repo

Since all new features are developed and tested carefully before inclusion in tagged releases, the best way to track the “bleeding edge” of Sheeple development is through git. git is a sophisticated revision control system, used extensively by all of Sheeple's developers. A full overview of git is beyond the scope of this section; those interested should refer to the Git Manual.

For reference purposes, you can browse Sheeple's git repository online through http://github.com/sykopomp/sheeple. If you wish to contribute to the project, this command will create a copy of the Sheeple repository on your local machine:

     git clone git://github.com/sykopomp/sheeple.git

Caution: Even if you do not wish to contribute to Sheeple, the above command will still create a copy of the git repository on your local machine.
