$ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero

This will build the latest unreleased GStreamer code.
Despite the presence of `setup.py` this tool does not need installation. It is
invoked via the `cerbero-uninstalled` script, which should be invoked as
`./cerbero-uninstalled`, or you can create an alias to it in your `.bashrc`
file.
You can build a specific release by checking out that tag, for example `git
checkout 1.18.4`. Building a release tag will cause Cerbero to use the release
tarballs instead of git repositories when fetching gstreamer recipes for
building.
You can also build the latest unreleased 'stable branch' code, for instance for
1.18 you'd do: `git checkout 1.18`, or `git clone -b 1.18 [...]`, which will
fetch the corresponding stable branches when building gstreamer recipes.
You can also use git worktrees, which may be more convenient when building
several different versions of gstreamer since the build artefacts always go
into the `build` directory inside the git repository.
