[Koha] Customizing code obtained via git

[Tom Hanstra]

Is there documentation somewhere which provides some guidance on how to 
properly set up a clone obtained via git?  I'm still learning how git 
works so I need some pretty basic guidance on incorporating it into my 
environment.

The primary questions I have are how to get the cloned version to find 
what it needs in a non-standard environment.  For instance, I installed 
my own version of perl because the OS version was too old.  How do I get 
the clone to use that?

I have learned how to set things up using the packaged versions, but 
would like to explore my options for setting up a clone instead.  But 
the documentation I've seen on the Koha Wiki assumes a level of git that 
I have not yet achieved and/or assumes a very standard environment (as 
far as I can tell).  So pointers on how to take the next step beyond 
that would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
