We use the GIT open-source revision control system. For us developers, it provides network-transparent source control. For ordinary users it provides a convenient way to obtain patched versions in between releases, or follow development branches. GIT clients are available for all major platforms: Unix, MacOS, Windows. In particular, the git command-line client is readily available in all Linux distributions.

This file documents access to the PARI GIT server, which is intended for PARI lovers who want the very latest bleeding edge release and development branches. These sources may contain severe bugs, they may not even compile, benches may fail and so on. Stable releases are made available on a regular basis using the customary method: a message to pari-announce.

Note that in order to use the sources fetched via GIT, you will need working bison and perl installation. You can access the PARI repository in many different ways:

[Browsing / Single Download].

• A web gateway to the GIT server.
• You can download a (nightly) snapshot of PARI/GP from both stable (2.5.*) and testing (2.6.*) branches. These snapshots are complete archives and do not need either bison or perl.

[Development work].

• An anonymous read-only server.
• A read-write access via ssh, reserved to registered PARI developers.
