-## Clone the repository 
-
-
-First you go in your work directory and clone the DragonFly repository. While ***crater*** is the official repo, you are urged to use one of our (generally much faster) mirrors instead. 
-
-    > git clone -o chlamydia git://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/dragonfly.git
-
-If you are a committer, you should create a ***remote*** entry for pushing to ***crater***:
 
-   
-    > git remote add crater ssh://crater.dragonflybsd.org/repository/git/dragonfly.git
-
-Clone creates remote-tracking branches for all branches in the parent repo and creates a local  **master**  branch from the remote  **master**  branch.
-
-    > git branch -a

+Look at the [[download]] page on how to clone the DragonFly repository. ***Note***: Please use a git mirror to reduce the bandwidth on the main servers.
 
 ## Prepare patches 
 
-If you (as a non-developer) made some changes to the DragonFly source and want to get them included in the main repository, send your patches to submit@lists.dragonflybsd.org. git assists you in creating patches which are easy to handle for the developers.
