Could someone show me how to compile things from github?

[Michael]

Okay, I went into the darktable section of github and read the README.md
file and from that I would say it is perty straight forward. Seeing as how
I have darktable installed currently I won't think I need to worry about
dependencies so I would uninstall the current version of darktable and then
(on the README.md) go to the 'Get the source section' and then start
building. Is this correct?
