This morning I wanted to install sage on another machine so I went to the sage installation guide <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/index.html> to remind myself where to clone the git repository from. As far as I can see, there's no mention of git anywhere in this guide. In particular, there is a install from source code <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html> section that I thought ought to mention using git, but it doesn't.
Next I went to sage's download-source <http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html> web page. It also doesn't mention git. (In addition, under the heading of "Source", there is also an annoying circular link, Download complete source code <http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html>, that reloads the page for you. This ought to be removed.) Finally, I found the information that I wanted in the Git the Hard way <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/manual_git.html#section-git-checkout> section of the developer guide. I think that we ought to: - mention how to use git in the installation guide - mention how to use git on the down-source web page (and the circular link should be removed). In both cases, it is probably enough to add links to the developers guide. Are there any reasons not to do this? Assuming not I can hack the installation guide but, presumably, whoever maintains the download will have to take care of that.
