#[[##Source Code Repository]]#

We use a Git repository located at [git://git.apache.org/shiro.git](git://git.apache.org/shiro.git).

Active development is done in the `master` branch, and maintenance typically on the `1.2.x` branch.

#[[###Building from Git]]#

For Shiro cutting-edge development, you can clone the code from Git and build it using [Maven](http://maven.apache.org) 2.2+:

1.  Check out the code:

    ``` bash
    git clone https://github.com/apache/shiro.git
    ```

2.  Build the project using [Maven](http://maven.apache.org) 3.x+:
    
    ``` bash
    cd shiro
    mvn install
    ```
    
    The resulting artifacts will be in your local M2 Repo under the org.apache.shiro group.
