= Git Source Code Repository =
Deluge's source code is always available through our [http://git.deluge-torrent.org/deluge Git repository].
To get a copy of the code, you will need to clone it from the repository then see the [wiki:'Installing/Source' Installation Guide].
For more in-depth git usage see GitTips.
This guide uses commands which are meant to be typed at a command prompt, but most will be available from a GUI Git client.

== Deluge Branches ==
There are multiple branches or tags that you can choose from which contain different stages of the Deluge code.
Note that we are currently transitioning to a different [http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ git workflow] with the development of ''1.4'' so picking the correct branch is crucial.
The current branches (at time of writing) are:
'''`1.3-stable`'''::
This is the release branch for the 1.3-series and, until 1.4 release, is the recommended stable code. This branch is only for critical bug fixes and no new feature will appear in this branch.
'''`master`'''::
'''''This branch is in limbo until 1.4 release''''' This branch contains development code that is now continued in `develop`. When the `develop` code is considered stable, 1.4 will be released and the code will be merged back into `master` code. This mean going forward from 1.4 release this branch will be considered to be the most stable code, replacing the use of *-stable branches.
'''`develop`'''::
All development work will be put into this branch and should be considered unstable with risk of data loss and potential incompatibility with other Deluge versions.
'''`extjs4-port`'''::
A branch for porting the WebUI code from `Ext JS 3.4` to `Ext JS 4`, still requiring a lot of development work.
== Initial Clone ==
The first step is to clone our git repos:
{{{
git clone git://deluge-torrent.org/deluge.git
}}}
This will create a ''deluge'' directory with a copy of the repo so if you change into this directory you can start using git commands.
== Select Branch ==
List the branches, including remote branches:
{{{
git branch -a
}}}
== Switch Branch ==
If you want to use a different branch than the default selected (`master`) then you will need to create a local copy of the remote branch. In this example we create branch '1.3-stable' as a local copy of the remote branch 'origin/1.3-stable' and switch to it:
{{{
git checkout -b 1.3-stable origin/1.3-stable
}}}
To switch between your local branches use the following commands:
'''Development:'''
{{{
git checkout develop
}}}
'''Stable:'''
{{{
git checkout 1.3-stable
}}}
== Show current Branch ==
Either of these commands will show the current branch you are using:
{{{
git branch
git status
}}}
== Updating ==
You only need to do a clone once, after that you can simply update the branch by ''pulling'' changes from the repo.
Assuming you are in the folder you cloned to:
{{{
git pull
}}}
Now your tree is synchronized to the latest revision in our repository!
