The latest documentation can be viewed online at https://restic.readthedocs.org/en/latest. On the bottom left corner there is a menu that allows switching to the documentation and user manual for the latest released version.
Build restic
Install Go/Golang (at least version 1.3), then run go run build.go
,
afterwards you'll find the binary in the current directory:
$ go run build.go
$ ./restic --help
Usage:

[...]
More documentation can be found in the user manual.
At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go compiler. Building restic with gccgo may work, but is not supported.
