Version control repository
Linden Lab runs an official Subversion repository that contains occasional snapshots from the internal Linden Lab source repository.
Repository URLs (branches)
In order to check out one of the repository branches, create a location on your hard drive to check out the code (e.g. $HOME/src/secondlife/snowglobe). Select which branch you'd like to check out. See the tracker to browse currently-active branches, and source branches for an explanation.

Viewer 2.0 and Snowglobe 2.0 branches use a new branching strategy that'll allow us to develop more things in an open way.
Artwork and Library Bundles
Even when using a version control repositories, there are files that need to be downloaded as bundles (tar and zip files), decompressed and dropped into the local source tree.
For each repository, the relevant bundles are listed in doc/asset_urls.txt. On your working tree, you will need to download, decompress and drop the artwork bundle (SLASSET_ART) and the library bundle (SLASSET_LIBS_<platform>).
You can do that manually or use the provided public_fetch_tarballs script. Using the command line, navigate to the root folder containing your repository and invoke the script:
python scripts/public_fetch_tarballs.py

Write access
Developers that have signed and submitted a contribution agreement are eligible (not guaranteed) for write access to the repository. Other considerations, such as patches submitted and reasons access is requested will also come into play.
