Why are you doing this?

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?

sudo apt install checkinstall

cd darktable-3.6.1

./configure

make

sudo checkinstall

If it fails, you probably need some supporting items. Never do a sudo make install on a debian or ubuntu based system without using checkinstall instead. You can automatically roll back or upgrade without issues if you use checkinstall.

This one is kind of a project per project evaluation.

but basic steps are usual git clone the repo, find the makefiles etc, build, install.

Each project individually will have a different process.

I have never compiled a program from github. Could someone show me how to compile darktable from github?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
