(我看到一些奇怪的东西：)

http://github.com/zoul/Finch.git

(http://github.com/zoul/Finch.git)

Now I'm not that CVS, SVN, etc. dude.

When I open that in the browser it tells me that I did something wrong.

(当我在浏览器中打开它时，它告诉我我做错了什么。)

So I bet I need some hacker-style tool?

Answer 1

To clone that repository via a URL like that: yes, you do need a client, and that client is Git .

(要通过以下URL来克隆该存储库：是的，您需要一个客户端，该客户端是Git 。)

That will let you make changes, your own branches, merge back in sync with other developers, maintain your own source that you can easily keep up to date without downloading the whole thing each time and writing over your own changes etc. A ZIP file won't let you do that.

(这将允许您进行更改，您自己的分支，与其他开发人员同步合并，维护您自己的源，您可以轻松地保持最新，而无需每次下载整个事情并编写您自己的更改等。赢得了ZIP文件不要让你这样做。)

It is mostly meant for people who want to develop the source rather than people who just want to get the source one off and not make changes.

(它主要适用于那些想要开发源代码的人，而不是那些只想让源代码获取而不进行更改的人。)

But it just so happens you can get a ZIP file as well:

(但它恰好也可以获得一个ZIP文件：)
