Mitk & Git

MITK and Git

The current MITK source code can be viewed with the Gitweb interface here.

The URL for cloning MITK is

 http://git.mitk.org/MITK.git/

For client downloads and more information please visit the Git homepage.

Branches

We follow a branchy workflow. All developments are made in branches that are named after a bug in Bugzilla. The master branch only contains merge commits.

Tags

Tags starting with "v" are official MITK releases.

Tags named "releases/snapshot-YYYYMMDD" are usually created for projects using MITK which need to permanently mark a specific version of MITK. Please be aware that these releases are not always fully tested since most projects only use parts of MITK.

Hooks

We follow some coding guidelines in the creation of MITK. These are checked for on the server side, when any changes are pushed to the server repository. If you want to contribute to MITK and make sure that your code is compliant to these guidelines you can install a git hook, which will check for several things on committing.

Install by copying Media:MitkGit$pre-commit to your MITK /.git/hooks/ directory. The file name has to be 'pre-commit' and the file needs to have executable permissions.

Migrating from Subversion

The Subversion repository at svn.mitk.org will continue to exist for some time, but without receiving further updates. If you have modifications to the MITK source code you want to keep you can still update to the latest SVN revision, create patches and apply them to your Git checkout.
