<p>Since April 2012, MapServer’s source code and documentation are under GitHub control
(<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer">https://github.com/MapServer</a>). In the past, MapServer has also used
Subversion and CVS for version control.</p>
</section>
<section id="github-sub-projects">
<h2>GitHub Sub-Projects<a class="headerlink" href="#github-sub-projects" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Several sub-projects are used on GitHub, to separate files for the MapServer
source, or documentation, for example. Here are a list of the important
sub-projects:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/">/MapServer</a>: MapServer source</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/">/MapServer-documentation</a>: Documentation files, stored
as restructured text files.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/mapcache/">/mapcache</a>: MapCache source, used
for tile caching.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/tinyows/">/tinyows</a>: TinyOWS source, used
for WFS transaction support (online editing of features).</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/msautotest/">/msautotest</a>: msautotest files,
used for automatically verifying source changes.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/basemaps/">/basemaps</a>: basemaps files,
used to generate mapfiles from OpenStreetMap data.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/ms-ogc-workshop/">/ms-ogc-workshop</a>: OGC Workshop files,
an excellent resource for learning OGC standards (WMS/WFS/WCS/SOS) with MapServer.</p></li>

<section id="code-developer-s-github-access">
<h2>Code Developer’s GitHub Access<a class="headerlink" href="#code-developer-s-github-access" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>GitHub access is mostly intended for use by developers, but users can also
access the MapServer source between releases as it is being developed. GitHub
access is only recommended for those who need the absolute latest and greatest
code, if they are not afraid of getting their hands dirty building the source.
The GitHub repository does not contain <a class="reference external" href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/">GD</a> or
any of the support libraries, and it requires flex and bison to build it.
Building MapScript will also require <a class="reference external" href="https://www.swig.org">SWIG</a> be
installed on your machine. Here’s how to access the source:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>Create a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pricing/">free personal account</a> at GitHub</p></li>
<li><p>See GitHub’s <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/set-up-git/">help guidelines</a> to
install Git locally</p></li>
<li><p>Issue the following command to
check out a copy of the current source/main into your working directory.</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git<span class="w"> </span>clone<span class="w"> </span>https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer.git
</pre></div>

</ol>

<h2>Support Libraries<a class="headerlink" href="#support-libraries" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>Information about supporting libraries and how to compile MapServer from
source can be found in the <a class="reference internal" href="../installation/unix.html#unix"><span class="std std-ref">Compiling on Unix</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="../installation/win32.html#win32"><span class="std std-ref">Compiling on Win32</span></a>.</p>

<section id="how-to-obtain-commit-push-access">
<h2>How to Obtain Commit/Push Access<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-obtain-commit-push-access" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you find yourself submitting a lot of push requests to GitHub, or you would
like to be an active developer that picks up the maintenance of a portion of MapServer,
contact Steve Lime, one of the other developers, or send a message to the MapServer-dev <a class="reference internal" href="../community/lists.html#lists"><span class="std std-ref">Mailing Lists</span></a>.
To obtain GitHub commit/push access, an individual must:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>demonstrate expertise about a specific area</p></li>
<li><p>be willing to put more time into the project than just the short term
(dumping code into the project and providing no way to maintain it is almost
as bad as having no code at all)</p></li>
<li><p>be active instead of casual about the project.</p></li>
<li><p>election of Subversion committers is covered in <a class="reference internal" href="rfc/ms-rfc-7.2.html#rfc7-2"><span class="std std-ref">RFC 7.2: MapServer Commit Management</span></a></p></li>

<h2>Issue Trackers<a class="headerlink" href="#issue-trackers" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>

<li><p>the Issue Tracker for documentation is found within the MapServer-documentation sub-project at: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/issues">https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer-documentation/issues</a></p></li>
