Source

Inflow 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>

  1. 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.

Subversion Help

For help on how to use Subversion, an excellent manual is available online at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
