Using git to update Configgy and other github-hosted code

It’s easy to use and update the git version of Configgy and other code hosted at github. If you don’t have git, you can use MacPorts to install it:

$ sudo port install git

Then clone the Configgy repository with

$ git clone git://github.com/robey/configgy.git

Then cd into the top-level directory and build as described below.

When you want to update, just pull the latest changes and rebuild.

$ git pull
$ ant clean; ant package

Note that ant package may be particular to Configgy. Sometimes just ant is sufficient and will use the defaults.
