"Prefered" way to build from git

Asked by Víctor Gonzalo

I'm trying to get grub2 compiled from git://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2 as close as possible to the ubuntu way.
Is there any standard way to do it, from "git clone" to grub.efi?
I've try finding Documentation but the files there are the gnu's. I can build it, i just want to make sure i'm choosing the same options for testing only my changes.

Thanks

I know how to clone the git repo, thanks.
I'm looking for any documentation how to compile it in the very same way it is compiled on a release.
Also I have the strong feeling there must be a way to compile only one architecture to test a quick fix and not all of them ;)

So I have to click "I Still Need an Answer" (with those capitals ;) ) everytime the same user gives me a random "answer"?

Maybe you are looking for instructions like https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html
When skipping all steps related to bug fixing, you should get a result that is very similar to the original package.

Note: "git clone" is not mentioned at all in the document.

Thanks, I didn't understand the ubuntu way. The git advertised here was misleading for me.
