Following the latest source
These are the instructions if you just want to follow the latest ipython source, but you don't need to do any development for now.
The steps are:
- :ref:`install-git`
- get local copy of the git repository from github_
- update local copy from time to time
Get the local copy of the code
From the command line:
git clone git://github.com/ipython/ipython.git
You now have a copy of the code tree in the new ipython directory.
Updating the code
From time to time you may want to pull down the latest code. Do this with:
cd ipython git pull
The tree in ipython will now have the latest changes from the initial repository.
