GetLatestCode

You need the latest code to help develop Scid's codebase.
Patches must be written and tested using the latest code.

Which Control Version System Do You Use?

Scid Projects's preferred CVS is Git.

Why Git?

If you have 70 minutes, listen to Linus.
If you have 15 minutes, learn Git instead.

How Do I Install Git?

For instructions how to install and run Git, see [GitForScid].

NB. Could be included here if it's short enough.

What Command Should I Use?

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/scid/code scid-code

You can replace scid-code with any other legal folder name.

(As written on the Master Tree page.)

What If I don't Want to Use Git?

Then learn [HowToSendPatches].

You'll have to grab a snapshot of the master branch on the Master Tree page.
Click the Download Snapshot button (top right) for a tarball of the latest code.
Just beside the download snapshot button, you can see the commits history.

Then What?

From there, refer to [CompileScid] for more detailed instructions.
