View source for Developer Area/Getting Code from Git

Rather than using a standard release build of Mahara, you can check out the code from our git repository.

 <span id="repo-16111-git-url"><code>git clone git://gitorious.org/mahara/mahara.git</code>    </span>

If you check the project out from git, you have the option of checking out a specific feature branch of Mahara, if you're interested in one in particular. See http://gitorious.org/mahara/mahara for a list of all branches in our git repository. Example:

 git clone git://gitorious.org/mahara/mahara.git
  cd mahara/
  git checkout -b 1.2_STABLE origin/1.2_STABLE

<br /> Once you've got the code from git, you should point your webserver at the htdocs directory if you want to run it.  You can update the code by running the "git pull" command from anywhere inside your checkout.
