Getting the code

Django uses ​Subversion (svn) for managing its code.

Assuming you have Subversion installed, the following command in a terminal will fetch the most recent code for you: 

svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/

Django also offers "official" release tarballs at the ​download page.

Getting involved

Before anything, please read ​How to contribute to Django. You'll find out how the Django community works, and possibly save yourself much grief in the future. :)

Branches

Development of major new features for Django tends to take place in branches — copies of the main codebase focused on a particular feature. Using branches makes it easier to experiment with such sweeping changes without possibly breaking the trunk — the main line of development.

Branches may not be stable, but they offer a chance to test out bleeding-edge code before it hits the mainline. Give them a try, and remember to send feedback to the branch maintainers!

See DjangoBranches for more information, including a list of active branches.
