Currently, we package a custom version of Git and Scalar as `.deb` packages
that can be installed after downloading from the GitHub releases pages.
At this point, you must install our custom version of Git in order to get
background maintenance as part of `scalar clone` or `scalar register`. As
that feature is accepted and merged into the core Git client, then you can
take advantage of the feature without the custom fork.
In order to get background maintenance as part of `scalar clone` or
`scalar register`, you need to be running Git 2.30.0 or higher.
Alternatively, you can install our custom version of Git.

The latest releases can be downloaded and installed as follows:

> Note: If you don't have `wget`, then try `sudo apt-get install wget` first.

```sh
# (Optional, if running Git below 2.30.0)
