At this point we are able to prepare the development environment. Make sure network is working properly and the system is up-to-date.
Now install the git package:
pakfire install git
After that, prepare your environment Initial Git Setup and finally clone the IPFire-3.x repository as described in Source Code.
Now you have your own build environment.
Prepare branch
If you like to take part in development, it is useful to cerate a branch for every project you like to start.
E.g. you want to make an update of the programm "grep". Simply create a branch for this project like this:
git branch grep -t origin/master
then change into this branch with:
git checkout grep
Now you are on the branch "grep" and you can change the code and commit changes.
