Hi Claude,

the only difference should be that you clone the git repository rather than checkout the old Subversion one. As with Subversion the git repository web page on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjtx/ci/master/tree/) has a pre-constructed clone command that you can copy:

The main visible difference is that the single Subversion repository with branches for each of the WSJT applications has been split into separate git repositories, one per project.

When you clone a git repository you get all branches and history but you do not need to worry about that if you just want the latest code line since that is the 'master' branch which is set as the current branch when you clone the repository.

To update your sources you must use a git command. The equivalent Subversion command was `svn update`, in git you type:

git pull

That's about it, the layout of the source code is unchanged and the git repository has the full change history including all the past Subversion changes.
