Hi Andrea, For GitHub there is ports infrastructure, using USE_GITHUB=yes and GH_* variables. For usage, see our Porters Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html#makefile-master_sites-github-description If the code isn't already on github, you can clone -> push it into your own repository, and use USE_GITHUB in the port from there. ./koobs
