Well, just like everybody else, I’ve been using phpMyAdmin to do my casual MySQL fixing/work on this website. However, recently the phpMyAdmin developers switched to Git on SourceForge and then to GitHub shortly after that.

So, the guy over at Network Jack wrote down what I had already been doing:

1
2
3

git clone --depth=1 git://phpmyadmin.git.sf.net/gitroot/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
cd phpmyadmin
git checkout --track -b PMASTABLE origin/STABLE

However, as I said before, they switched from SourceForge to GitHub, thus you need another URL.

1
2
3

git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git
cd phpmyadmin
git checkout --track -b PMASTABLE origin/STABLE

After that, you just need to add a simple cronjob that enters the directory and runs git pull.
