Source Repository Information
Creative Commons uses Subversion and Git repositories at http://code.creativecommons.org for source code management. Subversion (svn) clients are included with Linux and Mac OS X. Windows users can use Tortoise SVN.
ccPublisher and some dependencies are still housed at Berlios.de; those modules will be moving to code.creativecommons.org soon.

Checking Out Source
code.creativecommons.org
We moved our primary source repository from Sourceforge.net to code.creativecommons.org in March, 2008. Note that we only support public key authentication for our repositories.
Subversion
- web view
- read-only repository
- writeable checkout:
$svn co svn+ssh://svn@code.creativecommons.org/svnroot/project
- write permission: email webmaster@creativecommons.org with your public key; if you had write permission at Sourceforge, please include your sourceforge.net username so we can map your key correctly.
Git
- web view
- read-only access:
$git clone git://code.creativecommons.org/cc.license.git
- read/write access:
$git clone git@code.creativecommons.org:cc.license
Berlios.de
See the ccTools Subversion Information page for details on checking out code hosted at Berlios (ccPublisher).
