I might add a couple of cents' worth. I am clue challenged where it
comes to certain technologies that the users of lists such as this one
seem to take for granted. In particular, while I didn't clearly
understand the problem brought up by the original poster, I did have
quite a bit of trouble with this very link. I couldn't figure out how
to use git at all. I posted on the list, and got help from some
listmembers, clarifying the issues.
In my humble opinion, a clearer explanation of how to "clone" (what's
that?) a git repository, and so on, would be helpful. I have
(probably a bit presumptously) been able to install quite a few
software programs from CVS, subversion, etc., probably even git. In
each case there was a clearly presented instruction of how to use it.
I have appreciated this. As an interloper in the technological world,
in many ways, I owe a massive debt to those who have made it easy for
me to do what I have needed or wanted to do.
It was Manish who explained to me in the clearest terms how to use the
git repository. I trust he will not resent my posting here his
instructions ( in a far less clearly formatted manner than his own,
I'm afraid). I am taking some liberties with his presentation:
I. Org is cloned from it's git repo [perhaps in ~/elisp/org-mode.git:].
$ mkdir ~/elisp/ && cd ~/elisp
$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git org-mode.git
II. When one wishes to update the "clone"
$ cd ~/elisp/org-mode.git && git pull
He explained more of the process of building the package. This was
helpful to me. Perhaps with something similar on the org-mode pages,
a less clueful (but no less keen) newcomer like myself may be given
the gift of understanding.
I have gone on at some length.
