GeoGit is built using Maven:

cd src/parent
mvn clean install

Online tests, require a geogit endpoint, are available using:

mvn -Ponline

Cobertura is configured for a test coverage report:

mvn cobertura:cobertura
open target/site/cobertura/index.html

Any additional build profiles are documented in the root `pom.xml`:pom.xml .

If you would like to work in Eclipse use of the m2eclipse plugin recommended.

Please carefully apply the code formatting options in the buld/eclipse/formatter.xml file. These are the standard Java formatting options with 100 character line length for both code and comments, and 4 spaces for indentation. It is also recommended to use the code templates from build/eclipse/codetemlates.xml.

The project is hosted on github:

Participation is encouraged using the github fork and pull request workflow:

* file headers are described above
* include test case demonstrating functionality
* contributions are expected to pass test and not break the build
