Welcome to the SixTrack GIT(hub) wiki. These pages are intended to show you how to:

• Setting up GIT on your computer
• Check out (clone) SixTrack, and how to build it.
• Fork SixTrack and make your own modifications to it
• Our process for merging your modifications and improvements back to the main repository, including code review.
• Updating your fork's master branch from the "upstream" version.

For documentation on how to use SixTrack, please see:

• The user manual: This explains the input files etc.
• The physics manual: This explains the implemented physics.
• The MadX user manual: This explains how to use the sixtrack command in MadX to create SixTrack input files.
