Use Developer branches

Imagine you want to try out the xfce4-svn branch from developer elangelo. You can see this branch here.

These would be the commands:

• clone the main repository lunar:

 git clone git://lunar-linux.org/lunar/moonbase.git moonbase.git

• pull the xfce4-svn branch from elangelo and at the same time create a local xfce4-svn branch

 cd moonbase.git
 git pull git://lunar-linux.org/elangelo/moonbase.git xfce4-svn:xfce4-svn
 

• switch to the xfce4-svn branch:

 git checkout xfce4-svn

• updating the xfce4-svn branch with latest master (the main repository of moonbase)

 git checkout master
 git pull git://lunar-linux.org/lunar/moonbase.git master
 git checkout xfce4-svn
 git merge master

• telling lunar to use the git repository instead of the default (/var/lib/lunar/moonbase) one:

 lunar set MOONBASE /home/samuel/moonbase.git
