Downloading the source code¶
Cloning the repository¶
HALMD is maintained in a public Git repository
git clone --recursive http://git.halmd.org/halmd.git
which is redirected to GitHub. If you prefer the git protocol use
git clone --recursive git://github.com/fhoefling/halmd.git
This will create a directory halmd, which holds a hidden copy of the repository and a working copy of the source files.
Selecting a release version¶
By default, the above command yields the tip of the development branch. A specific release version is checked out by
git checkout TAG
where TAG is a valid release tag as listed from
git tag -n3
Git tutorials¶
