7 Getting Libraries via git

If you didn’t get one of the snapshots, or if you want to be sure to stay on the bleeding edge, then you should get the libraries via git. Go to http://www.gnustep.org/resources/sources.html for information on how to get the sourcecode.

To fetch all the GNUstep core libraries, you can clone the covenient core repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/gnustep/core.git

After you have checked out the source you can compile it as usual. To update the source, go into the directory of the source tree you want to update, for example, go into ’base’, and type:

git pull

You don’t have to re-checkout after you have the source, just pull!
