[jira] [Created] (JAMES-3688) Didn't mention git repo presence requirement

Serge Byishimo created JAMES-3688:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Didn't mention git repo presence requirement
                 Key: JAMES-3688
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3688
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 3.6.1
            Reporter: Serge Byishimo


Just a documentation improvement  :

It seems like on the 3.6.x branch `README.md` didn't mention that before running the build commands, you first need to clone the github repo to make sure there is git presence in your source codes directory.

Because if you downloaded the release source codes (which does not have git presence), and run the build commands, it gives this error "fatal: repository origin does not exist"

So it would be good to advise run something like this first :

git clone -b 3.6.x [https://github.com/apache/james-project.git]

to make sure you have git presence in your directory.

 

Cheers,
