1.2 Git Checkout

Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout. In any Bourne-shell the following should work:

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git

For a read-write checkout you need to have a login on ‘savannah.gnu.org’ and be a member of the Gnulib project at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib. Then, instead of the URL https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git, use the URL ‘ssh://user@git.savannah.gnu.org/srv/git/gnulib’ where user is your login name on savannah.gnu.org.

When you use git annotate or git blame with Gnulib, it’s recommended that you use the -w option, in order to ignore massive whitespace changes that happened in 2009.
