Read-only access +to the repository is available at git.openssl.org. We also maintain a +downstream clone on GitHub, at <https://github.com/openssl/openssl> on +GitHub. This repository is updated with every commit and is accessible +through a number of protocols. + +On the OpenSSL repository we only support the *git* protocol. Use the +following command to clone the git repository including all available +branches and tags: + +``` console +$ git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git +``` + +Access to specific branches is possible via the standard branch and +checkout commands. See the discussion of branch naming below for more +information. + +On Windows, once the repository is cloned, you should ensure that line +endings are set correctly: + +``` console +$ cd openssl +$ git config core.autocrlf false +$ git config core.eol lf +$ git checkout . +``` + +## Git branch names and tagging + +The *master* branch, also known as the development branch, contains the +latest bleeding edge code. There are also several *stable* branches +where stable releases come from. These take the form +*OpenSSL\_x\_y\_z-stable* so, for example, the 1.1.0 stable branch is +*OpenSSL\_1\_1\_0-stable*. When an actual release is made it is tagged +in the form *OpenSSL\_x\_y\_zp* or a beta *OpenSSL\_x\_y\_xp-betan*, +though you should normally just download the release tarball. Tags and +branches are occasionally used for other purposes such as testing +experimental or unstable code before it is merged into another branch. |
