Alex and Stefan,

I'm a little confused. I checked the instructions for how to build
Libreoffice. I do not have Cygwin yet but I'm going to download it. Do I
need to get all the git repositories for LibreOffice or just the ones for
the website?

Hi Maggie, Alex,

Right. So it's a (better) replacement for things like SVN/CVS/... (The
gist of these tools is that you version a set of files and can easily
see the history of each file or go back to previous versions.)
You can download git from here:

http://git-scm.com/


Here's an overview of all the repos libreoffice consists of:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice

This page explains how to use git for getting the latest source and
building
it: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build

In the section "Getting the source" you'd need to replace

git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core with
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/website

Thanks Alex. Maggie, please ask if any of that sounds too much like
technobabble. Also, don't let the command line shock you. :)
There are graphical UI's available, like e.g.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitextensions/

Hope this helps a bit,

Astron.
