Master repo URI: <code>{{GitCloneUrl}}</code><br/>
Backup repo: <code>git://git.code.sf.net/p/springrts/code</code>


====Latest Stable (master branch)====
Assuming the GIT command line client is installed, you can clone the repository with
<code><pre>git clone --recursive git://github.com/spring/spring.git -b master</pre></code>
and update it with:
<code><pre>git pull --rebase</pre></code>

====Bleeding-edge (develop branch)====
This will also allow you to make a patch out of the changes you make to the code, and send it to one of the developers with repository access. If you are new to git and github, you may want to have a look at [http://help.github.com/ this guide] to get you started.


Just as above with a minimal change:
{{code|git clone --recursive git://github.com/spring/spring.git -b develop}}
and update with:
{{code|git pull --rebase}}


Note: you can switch <code>branches</code> this way:
{{code|
# backup your current changes
git stash

# switch branch
git checkout $MY_OTHER_BRANCH

# sometimes needed
# note, it deletes all your unstashed changes and all non-pushed commits on the new branch,
# but it doesn't delete untracked files.
#git reset --hard 

# update/sync with remote repo
git pull --rebase

#optional
#git stash pop # reapplies your changes and DELETES the backup
#or
#git stash apply --index 0  # reapplies your changes and keep the backup (see `git stash list`)
}}

====Submodules====
To obtain the submodules you should clone the repository with --recursive as mentioned above.
If you haven't done this, you can execute the following code
<code><pre>
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init
</pre></code>

To update the submodules, you have to execute the same commands again or pull normally.
