__TOC__
The instructions previously available on this page have been superseded. See [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/Documentation/dev/git/README.md here].
 
VTK version tracking and development will be hosted by [http://git-scm.com Git].
 
=Experimental Repository=
 
We have published an ''experimental'' repository on public.kitware.com. '''WE REQUEST THAT NO ONE PUBLISH A CLONE OF THIS REPOSITORY AT AN ONLINE HOSTING SITE'''. This may or may not be the final version of history after conversion from CVS. It may be removed or rewritten at any time. We prefer to not have multiple incompatible histories out there. The final conversion will be available soon, at which point we may all begin sharing changes!
 
One may browse the repository online using the [http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gitweb Gitweb] interface at http://public.kitware.com/vtk-tmp.git/.
 
At the time of this writing the repository does not have branches and tags older than VTK 5.0.
Conversion of older branches and tags from CVS will be completed later and added.
 
==Cloning==
 
One may clone the repository using [http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html git clone] through the native <code>git</code> protocol:
 
$ git clone git://public.kitware.com/vtk-tmp.git VTK
 
or through the (less efficient) <code>http</code> protocol:
 
$ git clone http://public.kitware.com/vtk-tmp.git VTK
 
All further commands work inside the local copy of the repository created by the clone:
 
$ cd VTK
 
 
=Development=
 
We provide here a brief introduction to development with Git.
See the [[#Resources|Resources]] below for further information.
 
First, use [http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html git config] to introduce yourself to Git:
 
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "you@yourdomain.com"
 
Optionally enable color output from Git commands:
 
$ git config --global color.ui auto
 
The <code>--global</code> option stores the configuration settings in <code>~/.gitconfig</code> in your home directory so that they apply to all repositories.
