+Xonotic uses several GIT repositories. There's a helperscript in the main repository to aid in checking out all relevant repositories and help you building and running Xonotic.
+The repository also contains several branches next to the stable "master" branch. So if you're interested in the progress of a certain feature, or want to help or create a new one, checkout the appropriate branches.
+For information on how to obtain write access, skip down to the [[Repository Access#Getting write access|Getting write access]]" section.
