16 The Yocto Project team maintains complete source repositories for all
17 Yocto Project files at
18 <a class="ulink" href="http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi" target="_self">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi</a>.
19 This web-based source code browser is organized into categories by
20 function such as IDE Plugins, Matchbox, Poky, Yocto Linux Kernel, and
21 so forth.
22 From the interface, you can click on any particular item in the "Name"
23 column and see the URL at the bottom of the page that you need to clone
24 a Git repository for that particular item.
25 Having a local Git repository of the
26 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">Source Directory</a>,
27 which is usually named "poky", allows
28 you to make changes, contribute to the history, and ultimately enhance
29 the Yocto Project's tools, Board Support Packages, and so forth.
30 </p>
31<p>
32 For any supported release of Yocto Project, you can also go to the
33 <a class="ulink" href="http://www.yoctoproject.org" target="_self">Yocto Project Website</a> and
34 select the "Downloads" tab and get a released tarball of the
35 <code class="filename">poky</code> repository or any supported BSP tarballs.
36 Unpacking these tarballs gives you a snapshot of the released
37 files.

43 The recommended method for setting up the Yocto Project
44 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">Source Directory</a>
45 and the files for supported BSPs
46 (e.g., <code class="filename">meta-intel</code>) is to use
47 <a class="link" href="git.html" title="2.4. Git">Git</a> to create a local copy of
48 the upstream repositories.
49 </p></li>
50<li class="listitem"><p>
51 Be sure to always work in matching branches for both
52 the selected BSP repository and the
53 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">Source Directory</a>
54 (i.e. <code class="filename">poky</code>) repository.
55 For example, if you have checked out the "master" branch
56 of <code class="filename">poky</code> and you are going to use
57 <code class="filename">meta-intel</code>, be sure to checkout the
58 "master" branch of <code class="filename">meta-intel</code>.

74 This area contains IDE Plugins, Matchbox, Poky, Poky Support,
75 Tools, Yocto Linux Kernel, and Yocto Metadata Layers.
76 You can create local copies of Git repositories for each of
77 these areas.</p>
