     9== Choose a protocol for cloning ==
     10
     11The [https://github.com/boostorg/boost Boost super-project and libraries on GitHub] support cloning via HTTPS or SSH protocols. SSH is often used by developers, but HTTPS is preferable for those behind corporate firewalls. To use HTTPS instead of SSH, replace {{{git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git}}} in the examples below with {{{https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git}}}.
     12
     13=== Authentication ===
     14
     15The Boost super-project and libraries have been set up using relative URLs, so whichever protocol you use in the {{{git clone}}} command will determine how subsequent access to the super-project and libraries is authenticated.

    2937The {{{b2 headers}}} step creates the {{{boost}}} sub-directory hierarchy and populates it with links to the headers in the include sub-directories of the individual projects.

    31 From this point on, modularized Boost behaves a lot like pre-modularized Boost.

     66=== Checking out a particular branch ===
     67
     68The {{{clone}}} operation above leaves the {{{modular-boost}}} local repository, including the individual libraries, in a zombie-like state that is not very useful and can result in data loss. So the first thing you want to do is switch to the branch you want to work on:
     69
     70{{{
     71git checkout develop
     72}}}
     73
     74{{{develop}}} corresponds to svn {{{trunk}}}, and is the starting point for simple changes that do not justify creating a new branch.
