These are the instructions if you just want to follow the latest NumPy source, but you don’t need to do any development for now. If you do want to contribute a patch (excellent!) or do more extensive NumPy development, see Development workflow.
The steps are:
get local copy of the git repository from Github
update local copy from time to time
Get the local copy of the code¶
From the command line:
git clone git://github.com/numpy/numpy.git
You now have a copy of the code tree in the new numpy directory.
If this doesn’t work you can try the alternative read-only url:
git clone https://github.com/numpy/numpy.git
Updating the code¶
From time to time you may want to pull down the latest code. Do this with:
cd numpy
git fetch
git merge --ff-only
The tree in numpy will now have the latest changes from the initial
repository.
