Make a suggestion. When the new build system went live I had adapted the description with explicit instructions for each installation method, which was later simplified (a touch too much for my tastes) by Bastien — which is what you look at now. It actually doesn't even work as documented, I see now. > It seems clear to me that `install' is being used in two different senses > here.

Using Org from Git can be done in two fundamentally different ways: a) using the worktree directly as your installation, b) using it as the source for an installation in a different place. Installation is used here in the sense that your Emacs runs the "installed" code.
