Setup your Minio Github Repository    

Fork Minio upstream source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL and pass it to go get command. Go uses git to clone a copy into your project workspace folder.

$ go get -u github.com/$USER_ID/minio
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/$USER_ID/minio/
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/Minio-io/minio.git

Compiling Minio from source

Minio use plain Makefile to wrap around some of the limitations of go build. To compile Minio source, simply change to your workspace folder and type make.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/$USER_ID/minio/
$ make
