+<h2>Repository</h2>
+
+The buildroot repository can be browsed online through cgit at
+<a href="http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/">http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot</a>.
+To grab a copy of the repository use
+
+<pre>
+git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot</pre>
+
+Or if you're behind a firewall blocking git:
+
+<pre>
+git clone http://git.buildroot.net/git/buildroot.git</pre>
+
+<p>
+
+Please use the native git protocol if at all possible, as it's a lot
+more efficient than HTTP.
+
+<p>
+
+If you are not already familiar with using Git, we recommend you visit <a
+href="http://git-scm.org">the Git website</a>.
+
+<p>
+
+Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your source
+tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by entering your
+buildroot directory and running the command:
+
+<pre>
+git pull
+</pre>
+
+Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be
+able to push your changes to the repo. Changes can instead be submitted for
+inclusion by posting them to the buildroot mailing list.
