+# Trinity Desktop Environment GIT Repositories for extra packages
+
+TDE is a comprehensive desktop environment that includes both
+core packages and applications designed for it.
+
+The complete source code is split into many individual GIT repositories,
+connected together into a tree structure of modules and submodules. The
+main *TDE* repository provides the entry point to the root of such tree,
+simplifying navigation and cloning operation of the complete TDE code.
+
+TDE packaging repository contains files designed to create source and
+binary packages for distributions such as Debian, Fedora, and so on.
+
+TDE extra-dependencies repository contains packages required to build
+TDE under various distributions but for which the TDE team is not the
+upstream maintainer.
+
+
+## Check out the complete TDE source code
+
+To check out the complete source tree from GIT,
+you can use the following procedure:
+
+```
+cd <base folder>
+git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde.git
+git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/scripts.git tde/scripts
+cd tde
+./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean anonymous
+
+Optionally to get the extra dependencies:
+cd <base folder>
+git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/extra-dependencies.git
+```
