Development tree:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Code repository
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The development tree is available through a Git repository hosted at
link:https://github.com/[GitHub].

To retrieve the current development tree, use the following command:

	$ git clone git://github.com/networkupstools/nut.git

The configure script and its dependencies are not stored in Git. To generate
them, ensure that autoconf, automake and libtool are installed, then run the
following script in the directory you just checked out:

	$ ./autogen.sh

Then refer to the 
ifdef::website[]
link:docs/user-manual.chunked/index.html[NUT user manual]
endif::website[]
ifndef::website[]
linkdoc:user-manual[NUT user manual]
endif::website[]
 for more information.
 
//////////////////////////
NOTE: Users that need the latest developments to support new devices *must*
use Git or <<Snapshots,snapshots>>.

Browse code
^^^^^^^^^^^

You can also browse the code at
link:https://github.com/networkupstools/nut[GitHub], or at the
link:http://alioth.debian.org/scm/?group_id=30602[Alioth mirror]. The code was
originally kept in Subversion, and the old
link:http://trac.networkupstools.org/projects/nut[Trac site] will be kept
around for a bit so as not to break the URLs in the mailing list archives.

[[Snapshots]]
Snapshots
^^^^^^^^^

GitHub has several download links for repository snapshots (for particular tags
or branches), but you will need a number of tools such as autoconf, automake
and libtool to use these snapshots.

If our Buildbot instance is behaving, you can download a snapshot which does
not require auto* tools from this
link:http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/snapshots[builder].  Look for the
latest *[tarball]* link towards the top of the page, and be sure to check the
'Build ##' link to verify the branch name.
