1 Getting the source code

GRUB is maintained using the GIT revision control system. To fetch:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/grub.git

Web access is available under

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/

The branches available are:

‘master’

Main development branch.

‘grub-legacy’

GRUB 0.97 codebase. Kept for reference and legal reasons

‘multiboot’

Multiboot specfication

‘multiboot2’

Multiboot2 specfication

‘developer branches’

Prefixed with developer name. Every developer of a team manages his own branches. Developer branches do not need changelog entries.

Once you have used git clone to fetch an initial copy of a branch, you can use git pull to keep it up to date. If you have modified your local version, you may need to resolve conflicts when pulling.
