Hi Andrew,

exactly, UHD. I've taken the usrp-users mailing list [1] into the circle
or recipients – since this is UHD-specific, and not directly involved
with GNU Radio. You can choose freely to which list you want to
communicate; I just feel it fits better there.

To git clone/pull/... you don't need any github account :) so exactly
these commands work.

You'd do a `git checkout <version>`, with `<version>` being something
like a branch name (master, maint, rfnoc-devel,…) to check out the
latest commit on that branch, or a tag (release_003_010_000_00, etc; you
can see these with `git tag`), or actually with a commit ID
(6e1ac3fc9433642d02d7963ecfdd9aef3ca6d35e or the like) if you want any
state in between.

So: Though it's perfectly possible to use or build UHD without using
git, our development process and tools rely heavily on this tool – might
be worth reading something like [2] if git is new to you.


Hope that helps a bit, keep the questions coming,

Best regards,

Marcus
