=========================================
Cloning the Ceph Source Code Repository
=========================================
To clone the source, you must install Git. See `Set Up Git`_ for details.
.. _Set Up Git: ../git
Clone the Source
================
To clone the Ceph source code repository, execute::
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git
Once ``git clone`` executes, you should have a full copy of the Ceph
repository.
.. tip:: Make sure you maintain the latest copies of the submodules
included in the repository. Running ``git status`` will tell you if
the submodules are out of date.
::
cd ceph
git status
If your submodules are out of date, run::
git submodule update
Choose a Branch
===============
Once you clone the source code and submodules, your Ceph repository
will be on the ``master`` branch by default, which is the unstable
development branch. You may choose other branches too.
- ``master``: The unstable development branch.
- ``stable``: The bugfix branch.
- ``next``: The release candidate branch.
::
git checkout master
