<H1> Github Facilities </H1>
<P>Starting with the Version of 2012-02-11, the source code repository
for this software is hosted by <A HREF="http://github.com">Github</A>,
and is located at <A
HREF="http://github.com/radfordneal/LDPC-codes">http://github.com/radfordneal/LDPC-codes</A>.
This repository includes the annotated log of changes made since the
Version of 2006-02-08.
<P>You can use the facilities at Github to obtain the source-code
repository, report bugs, and contribute to the wiki.
<H2>Obtaining the source repository, and modifying it</H2>
<P>To obtain a copy of the source-code repository, issue the following
command (in a Unix/Linux/Cygwin environment that has git installed):
<BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>
git clone git://github.com/radfordneal/LDPC-codes
</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>
This will retrieve the current state of the software, storing it
in the directory <TT>LDPC-codes</TT>, which you should ensure does not
exist before issuing this command above.
<P>Note that if all you want to do is compile and use the current
version, you can instead download the source without development
history as described in the <A HREF="install.html">installation
instructions</A>.
<P>The <TT>LDPC-codes</TT> directory created by the <TT>git clone</TT>
command is a git repository, which can be manipulated with the various
forms of the <TT>git</TT> command, which are documented, for example,
<A HREF="http://git-scm.com/documentation">here</A>.
<P>Each stable version of the software is a separate branch of the
repository. The documentation on the most recent stable version is in
the "gh-pages" branch. The current development version is on the
"master" branch. The are other branches for each stable version that
was released.
<P>You can make local changes to your copy of the repository, and use
the modified software. If you wish, you can ask me
(radfordneal@gmail.com) to include your changes in a new release, or,
if you register as a <A HREF="http://github.com">Github</A> user, you can set
up your own fork of the software for you and other people to use.
<H2>Reporting Bugs</H2>
You can use the Github "Issues" facility to report bugs in the
software. You have to register as a <A HREF="github.com">Github</A>
user to do this (which is free). You can then go <A
HREF="https://github.com/radfordneal/LDPC-codes/issues">here</A> and
click on "New issue" to report a bug. You can also use this facility
to suggest new features or other revisions. I may not have time to
implement them, but perhaps someone else will.
