Accessing Version Control ======================================== Botan's development occurs using a distributed version control system called `Monotone `_ (though there is also a mirror on `github `_). The main branch of development occurs on the branch named ``net.randombit.botan``. To download that branch and set up a new workspace, run:: $ mtn db init --db=botan.mtn $ mtn pull --db=botan.mtn mtn.randombit.net 'net.randombit.botan' [...] $ mtn checkout --db=botan.mtn --branch=net.randombit.botan [...] By default the ``checkout`` command will place the workspace in a directory with the same name as the branch you are checking out. If you want a different directory name, just include it after the ``--branch`` option (you can also rename this directory at any time). If this is the first time you've connected to the server, Monotone will print:: mtn: first time connecting to server mtn.randombit.net mtn: I'll assume it's really them, but you might want to double-check mtn: their key's fingerprint: 8c0b868f2247215c63c96983b1c8ca0f0f0cfd9a The fingerprint shown above was the correct one as of March 21, 2013. To pull further changes, from anywhere in the workspace run these commands:: $ mtn pull [...] $ mtn update [summary of changes] The ``mtn update`` command will give you a summary of which files changed; to view the full changelog, run ``mtn log``.
