'''Git''' is, a Version Control, used by the [[FlightGear]] project to store all of the files required to build FlightGear, as well as data (mainly [[aircraft]]). Git tracks updates to every file as developers around the world work together concurrently to create new versions. | |||
Due to the recent switch, we are currently doing our best on providing manuals for obtaining FlightGear through Git. The following articles are work in progress: | While new FlightGear features and additions are in development, they are available from Git before they are available in the standard release version. Using Git allows a user to build the newest possible version of FlightGear from the latest source files, to experiment with new aircraft or other features. However, it's not a beginner's tool. Using Git can expose the user to unstable features that show ugly error messages, or crash the computer. | ||
In May 2010, after a hardware failure on the [[CVS]] servers, the FlightGear project changed version control system from CVS to Git. The Git repositories are located at [http://gitorious.org/fg Gitorious] and at the [http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/?p=fgdata;a=summary Mapserver]. | |||
