Source
Avulsion is part of the sedflux model. Although it is also available as a seperate distribution, its source code is contained within the sedflux repository.
To browse the repository, point your browser to: http://csdms.colorado.edu/viewvc/sedflux/?root=sedflux
Command-Line Access
If you plan to make changes, use this command to check out the code as yourself using HTTPS:
<geshi lang=bash>
- Project members authenticate over HTTPS to allow committing changes.
svn checkout https://csdms.colorado.edu/svn/sedflux/ </geshi>
When prompted, enter your CSDMS Subversion password.
Non-members may only check out a read-only working copy of the project source.
To obtain a CSDMS Subversion account or to become a member of this project, please email csdms@colorado.edu.
GUI and IDE Access
This project's Subversion repository may be accessed using many different client programs and plug-ins. See your client's documentation for more information.
