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 easy to retain a full copy of the repository for yourself, to get up and running simply fork BaseX. If forking sounds unfamiliar to you I suggest you go read the GIT#Need_help_using_git.3F Manual.
You can then build BaseX with Maven.
Using Git & Eclipse
- (Optional) Head over to BaseX at GitHub and create an account
- Fork BaseX so you have a version on your own
- Make yourself familiar with git, there are several tutorials around the web
- Install egit (Eclipse: Help > Marketplace > Search for egit or get it from here)
- Open Eclipse
Click "Clone..." to create a local copy of the remote repository. This copy will include the full project history
