 4 dd038bc6 2021-09-21 thomas.ad This is the portable version of got[1] (Game of Trees), using autotools to

 7 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas Currently this has only been tested on Linux and FreeBSD, although the BSDs
 8 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas are already packaging Got via ports so this isn't a core focus of this
 9 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas portable repository, but patches to improve portability across systems are
10 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas welcomed.

53 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas * `main` which tracks got upstream untainted.
54 2f4dd2c2 2021-09-27 thomas * `linux` which provides the portable version of GoT based from code on `main`
55 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas 
56 00ced238 2021-09-24 thomas Patches for portable code fixes should be based from the `linux` branch and
