**TL;DR** ## Quick Start:
## Are you a user? Here's how you can get a development environment up and running. You can check out system-specific guides [here](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installation-Guides).
You can get an account on [many Diaspora pods](http://podupti.me), or sign up for an invite
at the pod run by the original development team at https://joindiaspora.com
## Are you a developer? ### Step 1: Clone the repo
```git clone git@github.com:diaspora/diaspora.git

Here are a few good places to start:
- Take a look at the [issue tracker](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues) and pick a bug.
Write a spec for it, so it's easy for another developer to fix it.
Catches must be tested, and all your tests should be green,
unless you're marking an existing bug, before a pull request is sent.
Unit tests should be in Rspec, Javascript tests should be in Jasmine, and integration tests should be in Cucumber.
Please make your changes in a branch to ensure that new commits to your master are
not included in the pull request, and to make it easier for us to merge your commits.
Please do not rebase our tree into yours.
See [here](http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39091.html)
for when to rebase.
