To closely follow the further development of NSF, or to prepare your patches contributed back to us, you may obtain a cloned copy of our Git repository. The main Git repository is self-hosted and the stream of changesets can be monitored using Fisheye . For public and anonymous access, please use the mirror . There is also a graph visualisation  of the commit activities available.

For checking out the NSF repository for the first time, obtain a clone by performing:

 $ git clone https://github.com/nm-wu/nsf.git 
 $ cd nsf 

To update an existing checkout, run

 $ cd nsf
 $ git pull 

The Git repository of NSF is organized as follows:
  • Branch main: contains the leading-edge (development) version of NSF, NX, and XOTcl 2
  • Release tags 2.0.0, 2.1.0 etc.: Denote the released versions of NSF, NX, and XOTcl 2.
  • Branch xotcl1: contains XOTcl 1.*, such as XOTcl 1.6.8
By default, the checked out branch is the main branch. If you want to checkout a release, run:

 $ git fetch --tags
 $ git checkout 2.1.0

If you want to work on the branch xotcl1, set up your local branch and perform a checkout:

 $ git branch xotcl1 origin/xotcl1
 $ git checkout xotcl1


To build NSF from here, follow the instructions in the Getting Started section.
