GRASS Addons git repository
How to get write access here
Read access is granted to the public, write access must be requested, see here for details: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToContribute#WriteaccesstotheGRASSaddonsrepository
However, it is also possible to fork this repository, insert your AddOn or fix an existing one in a new branch and finally open a pull request.
In either case, please read the submitting rules at the bottom of this page.
How to get the AddOn code
Clone of the entire AddOns git repository:
git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons.git grass_addons
How to install or remove AddOns in your GRASS installation
The simplest way to install GRASS GIS AddOns is to use the g.extension
module:

How to compile AddOn code
C code/Scripts, with GRASS source code on your computer
Preparations (assuming the source code in $HOME/grass/): (if you have already built GRASS from source you don't need to do this again. If adding to a binary install, the versions must match exactly. You need to git checkout the exact tag or commit used for the binary.)
./configure # [optionally flags]
make libs
The easiest way to compile GRASS AddOns modules into your GRASS code is by setting MODULE_TOPDIR on the fly to tell 'make' where to find the prepared GRASS source code:
make MODULE_TOPDIR=$HOME/grass/
(adapt to your /path/to/grass/). Each module/script in the GRASS AddOns git repository should have a Makefile to support easy installation.
Install then into your existing GRASS installation with
make MODULE_TOPDIR=$HOME/grass/ install
For system-wide installation this usually requires "root" privileges (so, also 'sudo' may help).
C code/Scripts, with GRASS binaries on your computer
compile GRASS AddOns modules into your GRASS code by setting MODULE_TOPDIR to where to the GRASS binaries are located:
make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/lib/grass/
