You can view the EDuke32 development history from your web browser! [https://svn.eduke32.com/log.php?repname=eduke32 https://svn.eduke32.com/log.php?repname=eduke32]

==For Developers==

The EDuke32 project self-hosts its source code in a Subversion repository: https://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/

Git users may be interested in using [[#Git-SVN|Git-SVN]] for local development.

Various forks and mirrors have appeared on version control hosts such as GitHub, but without exception these mirrors have quickly fallen out of date.

===Versioned===

====Subversion====

It is recommended that you download the latest version from the EDuke32 Subversion (SVN) Repository.

Download and install a Subversion client, if applicable. Package managers usually have a <code>subversion</code> package. On Windows, here are some choices:
*[http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download SlikSVN] (high quality command-line native builds)
*[http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html TortoiseSVN] (includes a handy GUI interface but uses Cygwin)
*[https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/ Subversion for Windows by alagazam]
*[http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ AnkhSVN plugin for Visual Studio]

Run the following command:

 svn checkout https://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/

====Git-SVN====

If you are a developer who would rather use Git as a front-end, this is possible with the use of Git-SVN.

Here are Windows examples of Git clients:
*[https://git-for-windows.github.io/ Git for Windows] is recommended.
*[https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ TortoiseGit] also exists.

To quickly jump into the action, run:

 git svn clone -r HEAD https://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/

It is also possible to clone the entire SVN version history, but be aware that this process takes a long time so it is only recommended if you need to delve into the history for the purpose of bisecting.

 git svn clone https://svn.eduke32.com/eduke32/

===Tarballs===
[http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis Daily source tarballs] are generated from the Subversion repository but they do '''not''' include metadata and Photoshop files for the purpose of saving space.

[http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/synthesis/old/ Old] and [http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32/old_versions/source_code/ older versions] are also available but any use of them is highly discouraged.
