I am new to MuseScore development but have over 4-decades of experience
developing and debugging software. I am trying to set up the best possible
environment to work with nightly builds and nightly changes.

I have installed the latest Qt 5.2, MinGW GCC and GitHub environments.  I
have signed required agreements and have forked my own repository for
MuseScore.  Now I have a number of questions.

Is the MuseScore repository on GitHub updated continually, daily, Nightly of
other?  
Does my forked version update every time the MuseScore repository changes?

When I clone a version of the my repository on my machine is it a one time
clone or a link to the forked repository?

Is there a way to automate the update of my cloned version to automatically
receive any changes to the current MuseScore repository after each
successful build?  Process would need to query me if attempting to overwrite
code I have modified?

My goal initially will be to fix every bug or defect I get my hands on as
quickly as possible. I would rather deal with last nights bugs then to spend
time fixing bugs that were corrected the night before.

Not yet highly experienced with GitHub, I am assuming like other SVN
software it will notify me when my version is not in Sync with the MuseScore
repository and give me the options to merge or not merge recent or open
software changes.

Lastly has anyone developed an install process for a MuseScore development
environment that can:

Can validate whether all dependencies for MuseScore development exist on a
given OS and machine (processor)?
Can automate and install a complete MuseScore development environment based
on a given OS?
