Using Git to contribute to BaseX
The team uses git and GitHub to manage the source code.
All team members have read+write access to the repository, external contributors are invited to fork the project.
Git makes it is all about distribution and makes it easy to retain a full copy of the repository for yourself. To get started and running simply fork BaseX. If forking sounds unfamiliar to you I suggest you go read some of the documentation listed at the end of this page.
You can then build BaseX with Maven, using Eclipse is optional.
