Download VTK with Git
=====================
This page documents how to download VTK source code through [Git][].
See the [README](README.md) for more information.
[Git]: http://git-scm.com
Clone
-----
Clone VTK using the commands:
$ git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.git VTK
$ cd VTK
Update
------
Users that have made no local changes and simply want to update a
clone with the latest changes may run:
$ git pull
Avoid making local changes unless you have read our [developer instructions][].
[developer instructions]: develop.md
Release
-------
After cloning your local repository will be configured to follow the upstream
`master` branch by default. One may create a local branch to track the
upstream `release` branch instead, which should guarantee only bug fixes to
the functionality available in the latest release:
$ git checkout --track -b release origin/release
This local branch will always follow the latest release.
Use the [above instructions](#update) to update it.
Alternatively one may checkout a specific release tag:
$ git checkout v6.2.0
Release tags never move. Repeat the command with a different tag to get a
different release. One may list available tags:
$ git tag
and then checkout any tag listed.
