Using Git to contribute to BaseX
Our 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 started and running, simply fork BaseX. If forking sounds unfamiliar to you, we suggest to look up some of the documentation listed at the end of this page.
You can then build BaseX with Maven. Using Eclipse is optional.
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 (see the end of this page)
- Install egit (Eclipse: Help > Marketplace > Search for egit or get it from here)
- Open Eclipse
