Sparrow Git-Repository

Release versions

Those of you who are familiar with the version control system git might prefer to get Sparrow directly from our GitHub repository. Tags are pointing to all stable versions. Access the repository like this:

# -> clone Sparrow repository on your system
git clone git://github.com/PrimaryFeather/Sparrow-Framework.git

# -> list available tags
git tag -l

# -> then checkout one of them:
git checkout v1.2

Cutting edge versions

All development happens at the head of the master branch. To get all of the latest features, you can always sync them like this:

git checkout master
git pull

But be warned! We do not guarantee anything for this version. It might be unstable, contain experimental code or break your interfaces. That said, Sparrow’s development versions have been a relatively stable source in the past, so you can safely experiment with them.
