============================= Following the latest source

These are the instructions if you just want to follow the latest scikit-image source, but you don't need to do any development for now.

The steps are:

• :ref:install-git
• get local copy of the scikit-image github_ git repository
• update local copy from time to time

Get the local copy of the code

From the command line::

git clone https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image.git

You now have a copy of the code tree in the new scikit-image directory.

Updating the code

From time to time you may want to pull down the latest code. Do this with::

cd scikit-image git pull

The tree in scikit-image will now have the latest changes from the initial repository.
