Ah, I see what you mean. I didn't understand that you wanted the development version of the documentation. Great! I don't know how to do that with Git from the command-line. You can see the current git repository online. For example you could get the documentation here: http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=tree;f=lib/doc;h=9c5d3d3f9e2af637c45d6a7d85ed14184cb346b8;hb=e04523f77be2a6d2b5ca708900857154b1eff902 I got there by going to git.lyx.org > lyx.git > tree > lib > doc Or feel free to send me an email and ask for certain files or folders. Note that if you aren't using the newest development version you might have problems with the format version of the .lyx files. Scott
