To use the Yocto Project, you need a release of the Yocto Project
locally installed on your development system.
The locally installed set of files is referred to as the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
in the Yocto Project documentation.

<para>
You create your Source Directory by using
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL;#git'>Git</ulink> to clone a local
copy of the upstream <filename>poky</filename> repository.
<note><title>Tip</title>
The preferred method of getting the Yocto Project Source
Directory set up is to clone the repository.
</note>
Working from a copy of the upstream repository allows you
to contribute back into the Yocto Project or simply work with
the latest software on a development branch.
Because Git maintains and creates an upstream repository with
a complete history of changes and you are working with a local
clone of that repository, you have access to all the Yocto
Project development branches and tag names used in the upstream
repository.
