Re: What is git link to clone?

It may work through the package manager since it is now installed as a package but here is how quelpa recommends updating:

By default, Quelpa does not upgrade installed packages. You can enable upgrading globally by running M-x customize-variable RET quelpa-upgrade-p RET.

To override the default and upgrade individual packages:

• Interactively, call quelpa with a universal prefix argument, like C-u M-x quelpa RET.
• From Lisp, call quelpa with the keyword argument :upgrade, like (quelpa 'package-name :upgrade t).
• Interactively, call M-x quelpa-upgrade RET, it will list all Quelpa installed packages.

Thanks Bob.

Jean: If you don't plan to do any development work that is the preferred way to install it from git!

Bob: Will that also pick up changes to the repo when you look for updated packages using the package manager?
