<h1>Code Repository</h1>

<p>
As of December 5, 2006, Mesa is using
<a href="http://git.or.cz/"target="_parent">git</a>
as its source code management system.
CVS was used previously.
The old CVS repository should no longer be used.
</p>

The master git repository is hosted on
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org" target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a>.
</p>

<p>
You may access the repository either as an
<a href="#anonymous">anonymous user</a> (read-only) or as a
<a href="#developer">developer</a>
(read/write).
</p>

<p>
You may also 
<a href="http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=mesa/mesa.git"
target="_parent">browse the git repository</a>.
</p>


<a name="anonymous">
<H2>Anonymous git Access</H2>

<p>
To get the Mesa sources anonymously (read-only):
</p>

<ol>
<li>Install the git software on your computer if needed.<br><br>
<li>Get an initial, local copy of the repository with:
    <pre>
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
    </pre>
<li>Later, you can update your tree from the master repository with:
    <pre>
    git pull origin
    </pre>
</ol>


<a name="developer">
<H2>Developer git Access</H2>

<p>
Mesa developers need to first have an account on
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org" target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a>.
To get an account, please ask Brian or the other Mesa developers for
permission.
Then, if there are no objections, follow this
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests" target="_parent">
procedure</a>.
</p>

<p>
Once your account is established:
</p>

<ol>
<li>Install the git software on your computer if needed.<br><br>
<li>Get an initial, local copy of the repository with:
    <pre>
    git clone git+ssh://username@git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
    </pre>
    Replace <em>username</em> with your actual login name.<br><br>
<li>Later, you can update your tree from the master repository with:
    <pre>
    git pull origin
    </pre>
</ol>


<a name="developer">
<H2>Development Branches</H2>

<p>
At any given time, there may be several active branches in Mesa's
repository.
Generally, the trunk contains the latest development (unstable)
code while a branch has the latest stable code.
</p>

<p>
The command <code>git-branch</code> will list all available branches.
</p>

<p>
Questions about branch status/activity should be posted to the
mesa3d-dev mailing list.
</p>
