| − | === About git ===
| + | #REDIRECT [[SourceCode]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Biopython source code is kept under a version control system which allows multiple users from around the world to work on the same code base at the same time. We currently use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 git] (developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development). Prior to September 2009, we used to use [[CVS]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An hourly updated CVS checkout of Biopython was available at http://biopython.open-bio.org/SRC/biopython and we intend to have this updated from git shortly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can also [http://github.com/feeds/biopython/commits/biopython/master track changes] via [[wp:RSS (file format)|RSS]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Viewing git sources ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Our current development git sources are available for viewing via [http://github.com/ GitHub]:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [http://github.com/biopython/biopython Biopython GitHub Home]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is the main repository. You can download these sources by clicking the Download link near the top of the page.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Anonymous Access ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Getting a copy of the repository (called "cloning" in Git terminology) without a GitHub account is very simple using the git command line tool:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | git clone git://github.com/biopython/biopython.git
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This command creates a local copy of the entire Biopython repository on your machine (your own personal copy of the official repository with its complete history).
| + | |
| − | You can update this local copy at the command line (from within the Biopython repository directory) with:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | git pull origin
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can even make ''local'' changes and commit them to this local copy, see [[GitUsage]] or the git documentation for further information.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Write Access ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to make changes to the official repository, you will need a github account with collaborator status.
| + | |
| − | Write access is available for Biopython developers (including all those who previously had CVS commit rights).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is normally given on a case by case basis, and the best place to discuss getting write access is on the [mailto:biopython-dev@biopython.org Biopython Development mailing list].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once you have access, see the instructions on [[GitUsage]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Migration from CVS ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Most of the other [http://open-bio.org Open Bioinformatics Foundation] projects migrated from CVS to [[SVN|Subversion (SVN)]]. Biopython had been considering [[Subversion_migration|moving from CVS to SVN]] for a while, but instead [[GitMigration|moved to git]]. [http://bioruby.org BioRuby] also uses github.
