Git Repository
Git is a distributed source-code management tool. To learn git, watch some introductory video on the git website.
github
Get the exciting repository from the current maintainer on the github:
http://github.com/ChristianMeisenbichler/exciting/tree/master
The command for cloning a local copy is:
git clone https://github.com/ChristianMeisenbichler/exciting.git
After cloning you end up with a directory called exciting. Go to this directory by
cd exciting
The tetrahedron integration library libbzint is linked into the exciting tree via a git submodule. To get the library, simply invoke:
git submodule update --init
Then you can compile the code and commit locally.
For sharing the code we propose to use github. If you are ready to create a free account there, you can click the 
button on the current official master. This will create your own public fork from which you can send pull request if you are ready to share your work.
