We use Git for managing the IPFire source code and the source code of all our other smaller projects.
You can browse the source code on https://git.ipfire.org/ or alternatively https://cgit.ipfire.org/.
It is freely downloadable via the Git protocol, HTTP or SSH. The URLs to the repositories can be found on their respective summary pages.
Repositories
IPFire uses two repositories for two major versions - 2.x and 3.x. Pick the needed repositories and the needed branch and clone it for your use.
| repository | branch | comment |
|---|---|---|
| IPFire 2.x | ||
| master | also known as Stable. It is production and best-tested | |
| next | also known as Testing | |
| unstable | nightly build - may be incomplete / dangerous | |
| IPFire 3.x | ||
| master | currently available versions are incomplete |
Note - the various repositories will download (clone) in 5 to 10 seconds.
IPFire 2.x repositories
There are two branches available for IPFire 2.x.
Master branch for IPFire 2.x
The master branch holds the code that is currently shipped.
git clone git://git.ipfire.org/ipfire-2.x.git
Next branch for IPFire 2.x
The next branch is the development branch that will eventually become the next Core Update.
git clone git://git.ipfire.org/ipfire-2.x.git
cd ipfire-2.x
git checkout -b next -t origin/next
IPFire 3.x repositories
git clone git://git.ipfire.org/ipfire-3.x.git
User Repositories
With IPFire-3.x we introduce a new workflow for development. From now on, each developer has got his own sandbox that is published on git.ipfire.org. In this sandbox one can do whatever one imagines.
When a new feature is developed it will get finished in this sandbox or branch while it can be shared by many developers through the magic of git. After that, it is merged to the master repository.
If you have got an own developer account you should connect the master repository together with you own:
git clone ssh://user@people.ipfire.org/pub/git/ipfire-3.x.git
cd ipfire-3.x/
git remote add user ssh://user@people.ipfire.org/pub/git/people/user/ipfire-3.x.git
