   to your local machine, so you will have access to all history and branches

CLASS="STEP"
><P
>     To being using the git repository, make a clone of the official mirror:

</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git</PRE
><P>

     This will copy the full repository to your local machine, so it may take
     a while to complete, especially if you have a slow internet connection.
    </P
><P
>     The git mirror can also be reached via the http protocol in case for example
     a firewall is blocking access to the git protocol. Just replace the URL
     like:

</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>git clone http://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git</PRE
><P>

     The http protocol is less efficient than the git protocol, so it will be
     slightly slower to use.
