Hi Justin
Thanks for explanation. But I am a bit confused because I am new to git.
When I check out release-4-6 branch, the source code should be the same as
the one in tarball from Gromacs website, right? When I run git status I get
# On branch release-4-6
nothing to commit (working directory clean), I believe that means I have
the released version of the code.
The git version is not the same as the tarball. The only time the git repo and
source tarball coincide is exactly when a release is produced (i.e. when a new
version is tagged in the git repo). There have been numerous patches to the git
repo since 4.6.1 was released.
The reason I am doing this is that I want to have just one directory for
gromacs with subdirectories for its src, build and binaries. And in future,
instead of downloading new releases, I want to just pull the changes and
re-build. Also, I plan to clone the same src directory on my different
machines, so that I can have the same version on all machines. Hopefully,
in the future I may start doing some modifications here n there.
That's what git will allow you to do.
