+:B~ Git repositories
+
+1~git-repositories Git repositories
+
+The list of all the available repositories of the ${project} can be found at http://live-systems.org/gitweb/. The project's git URLs have the form: #{protocol://live-systems.org/git/repository}#. Thus, in order to clone live-manual read-only, launch:
+
+code{
+
+ $ git clone git://live-systems.org/git/live-manual.git
+
+}code
+
+Or,
+
+code{
+
+ $ git clone https://live-systems.org/git/live-manual.git
+
+}code
+
+Or,
+
+code{
+
+ $ git clone http://live-systems.org/git/live-manual.git
+
+}code
+
+The cloning addresses with write permission have the form: #{git@live-systems.org:/repository}#.
+
+So, again, to clone live-manual over ssh you must type:
+
+code{
+
+ $ git clone git@live-systems.org:live-manual.git
+
+}code
+
+The git tree is made up of several different branches. The *{debian}* and the *{debian-next}* branches are particularly noteworthy because they contain the actual work that will eventually be included in each new release.
+
+After cloning any of the existing repositories, you will be on the *{debian}* branch. This is appropriate to take a look at the state of the project's latest release but before starting work it is crucial to switch to the *{debian-next}* branch. To do so:
+
+code{
+
+ $ git checkout debian-next
+
+}code
+
+The *{debian-next}* branch, which is not always fast-forward, is where all the changes are committed first before being merged into the *{debian}* branch. To make an analogy, it is like a testing ground. If you are working on this branch and need to pull, you will have to do a #{git pull --rebase}# so that your local modifications are staged while pulling from the server and then your changes will be put on top of it all.
+
+2~ Handling multiple repositories
+
+If you intend to clone several of the live systems repositories and want to switch to the *{debian-next}* branch right away to check the latest code, write a patch or contribute with a translation you ought to know that the git server provides a #{mrconfig}# file to ease the handling of multiple repositories. In order to use it you need to install the /{mr}/ package and after that, launch:
+
+code{
+
+ $  mr bootstrap http://live-systems.org/other/mr/mrconfig
+
+}code
+
+This command will automatically clone and checkout to the *{debian-next}* branch the development repositories of the Debian packages produced by the project. These include, among others, the live-images repository, which contains the configurations used for the prebuilt images that the project publishes for general use.
