## Clone the DragonFly source
After creating a git-user to run the git mirror (I use 'gitlog', which came with the git-package under Debian), login as this user, and perform a checkout. To find a suitable git-server to clone from ( <tt>$MASTER_GIT_SERVER</tt> ), look at [[the list of mirrors|/mirrors]]. This system should be a system user, and does not need to have a homedirectory or valid shell.
+**NOTE:** You must use a version of git that supports <tt>clone --mirror</tt>.
+
<pre>
# REPODIR=/srv/git
-# cd $REPODIR && git clone --bare $MASTER_GIT_SERVER
+# cd $REPODIR && git clone --mirror $MASTER_GIT_SERVER
</pre>
Make sure this is done using the git-user.
