The Repository: Beryl’s Open-Source Home
All the code and concepts I’m describing in this journal are available in the beryl3 repository.
Make sure to bookmark this URL: https://github.com/mdubiel/beryl3
Note: This repository is currently empty, indicating that I still have some initial work to complete this journal.
Getting the Code: Your Local Beryl Repository
To get a local copy of the Beryl project’s code and start exploring, you can easily clone the repository to your own machine using the standard Git command. This will download the entire project history, allowing you to browse the files, track changes, and eventually contribute your own improvements. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you’d like to store the project, then execute the following code block:
git clone https://github.com/mdubiel/beryl3
For more detailed information on the git clone command refert to the GitHub documentation).
Once the cloning process is complete, you’ll find a new directory named beryl3 containing all the project files. You can then navigate into this directory using the cd command.
cd beryl3
Now you have a local working copy of the Beryl repository, ready for you to explore as the project evolves. As new code and features are added, you can keep your local copy up-to-date by using the git pull command within the beryl3 directory.
You can find comprehensive information about fetching and merging changes from a remote repository in the GitHub documentation on git pull.
For a broader understanding of Git and its commands, the official Git documentation is an excellent resource.
