Question

I want to fork a suggester for elasticsearch from Github.
I’m following the steps on the website, I’m asked to run the following code:

git://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin.git

Which class shall I run it in ? and shall I create a new project for it or shall I run it in my current project?

I’m working with eclipse and play framework.

The only line where I see “git://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin.git” at the GitHub elasticsearch-suggest-plugin page is:

If you want to work on the repository

• Clone this repo with git clone git://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin.git
• Run: gradle clean assemble zip – this does not run any unit tests, as they take some time. If you want to run them, better run gradle clean build zip
• Install the plugin: /path/to/elasticsearch/bin/plugin -install elasticsearch-suggest -url file:///$PWD/build/distributions/elasticsearch-sugges

So this line is about cloning locally that repo to run the plugin.
It is not about a “class to run”. It is an address that the DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) Git must use to clone the repo.

git clone git://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-suggest-plugin.git
