这里我们讨论 GIT 的命令行工具，Git 的图形化工具也基本上基于命令行，你应该比较容易的来获得正确的安装参数。
Moodle 的官方 Git 仓库链接如下： git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git 同时 Moodle 官方也会将代码推送到 github 中，你依然可以使用下面的链接git://github.com/moodle/moodle.git)。
使用下面的命令来初始化你本地的代码：git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git 例如当前目录是 /home/yuchenghu
在这个目录下，你执行git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git 命令，会在当前目录下创建一个名为 moodle 的目录。
服务器输出：
[root@ca1 yuchenghu]# git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
