this was done about a month ago, so I forget the details, but here is the documentation that I kept of what I did. I executed the three commands:
C:\Users\penne_000\AppData\Roaming\InkscapeGit>git init git clone https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git git pull https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git
- the clone command downloaded about 2 GB of data. - then the pull command also downloaded about 2 GB of data. - then I discovered that I had two duplicate versions of the entire inkscape directory in two different locations. So I decided to try to find out which one was the correct one. So I waited a day or two and executed the pull command again, and found out which particular repository got updated. The location that got updated was in the directory: C:\Users\penne_000\AppData\Roaming\InkscapeGit\src> - so now that I knew which version was the correct version, I deleted the other version which was not needed. - so I have been executing pull commands successfully to this version, and also compiling it successfully as well. - ideally it would have been nice if the clone command and the pull command would both use the same directory and the same repository, but that does not seem to be possible, so at this point I gave up and just used it as is.
