# snake4.debian
This repository contains the Debian packaging files for the game Snake4 (basic but nice implementation of the snake game).

This package is maintained on a Git repository through some important branches.
| branch | role |
|---|---|
| master | Snake4 and the debian package source code (debian directory) |
| upstream | Everything that was on the original upstream tarball (orig.tar.gz) |
| pristine-tar | Debian original tarball |
| readme | This single file, explaining all that |
To start working on this package, clone this repository along with all branches:
# Cloning the entire repository
$ git clone https://github.com/alexdantas/snake4.debian
# For now you have only the `readme` branch
$ git branch
* readme
# But the other branches are actually "hidden"
$ git branch -a
* readme
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/pristine-tar
remotes/origin/upstream
# So start working on one of them with this
# specific command:
$ git checkout -b master origin/master
# And by this moment you have this branch as "non-hidden"
# You can go back and forth as you like
$ git checkout -b readme
$ git checkout -b master- Remember that the master is not the one you get right after cloning this repository!
