Using Git

Tinyboard is still beta software and it’s not going to come out of beta any time soon. As there are often many months between releases yet changes and bug fixes are very frequent, it’s recommended that users use our git repository instead. Using git makes upgrading much easier.

To use git, simply clone our git repository with:

% git clone git://github.com/savetheinternet/Tinyboard.git

To pull the latest changes at any time, use:

% git pull

And it will output something like this:

remote: Counting objects: 21, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Total 15 (delta 11), reused 15 (delta 11)
Unpacking objects: 100% (15/15), done.

You may have to navigate to install.php when there are version changes or the database will likely be incompatible.
