Viewing the source code online ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ngIRCd "GITweb" interface allows you to browse the GIT repository and to see all individual files, tags, branches, commits etc.: II. Getting the source code ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access (copy, clone) the source tree repository anonymously, run: $ git clone git://ngircd.barton.de/ngircd.git Thereby a new folder "ngircd" will be created containing all the individual source files. The newly created directory ("ngircd") is the "working directory", all GIT commands will be executed from within this directory in the future. Please note: When checking out a fresh copy of ngIRCd using GIT, the configure script doesn't exist; you have to run the autogen.sh shell script (which is included in the source tree) to generate it. This requires you to have GNU automake and GNU autoconf installed on your system. Please see the file INSTALL for details! To update the local GIT repository: $ git pull This retrieves all changes and merges them into the current branch. III. Contributing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patches should be sent to the ngircd mailing list.
