Is Wireshark from GitHub different from the one on code.wireshark?

0

Is there any difference between a cloned copy of Wireshark from GitHub or from code.wireshark?

I guess they both could be same but I need to get this confirmed because I'm still new to the world of CVS and open source as well. I've had already a look at the documentation and I found no thing mentioned about Wireshark's Github.

Context: I've a repository with GitHub and I want to clone/fork a copy from Wireshark. I'm working on a dissector which I'm planing to commit, so I want to keep my private source tree updated.

Github repository is a read only clone of the one found on code.wireshark.org. You can fork the one on GitHub if you want but keep in mind (as indicated on Github) that pull requests will be ignored and that only patch sets submitted to code.wireshark.org will be accepted.

...so you might want to setup at code.wireshark.org, using an OpenID, and clone from there.
