We’re pleased to announce that Poky will be using GIT as its SCM from now on.

The advantages of GIT for a project like Poky are large due to its powerful branch handling capabilities and distributed nature meaning access to one central repository is no longer needed. The SVN history has been imported and retained and the svn server will mirror the git server for at least the short term whilst people transition.

You can browse the repository at http://git.pokylinux.org and checkout Poky using git with the command “git clone git://git.pokylinux.org/poky.git”.
