Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout. In any Bourne-shell the
following should work:
-
-$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib login
-(Just hit Enter or Return when prompted for a password)
-$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib checkout gnulib
+ $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
+Or, if you prefer the CVS-like 'cogito' frontend to plain 'git':
+ $ cg clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib
