# vcpkg_from_git
The latest version of this document lives in the [vcpkg repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/maintainers/vcpkg_from_git.md).
Download and extract a project from git
## Usage:
```cmake
vcpkg_from_git(
OUT_SOURCE_PATH <SOURCE_PATH>
URL <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/fdlibm>
REF <59f7335e4d...>
[HEAD_REF <ref>]
[PATCHES <patch1.patch> <patch2.patch>...]
)
```
## Parameters:
### OUT_SOURCE_PATH
Specifies the out-variable that will contain the extracted location.
This should be set to `SOURCE_PATH` by convention.
### URL
The url of the git repository.
### REF
The git sha of the commit to download.
### HEAD_REF
The git branch to use when the package is requested to be built from the latest sources.
Example: `main`, `develop`, `HEAD`
### PATCHES
A list of patches to be applied to the extracted sources.
Relative paths are based on the port directory.
## Notes:
`OUT_SOURCE_PATH`, `REF`, and `URL` must be specified.
## Examples:
* [fdlibm](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/fdlibm/portfile.cmake)
