I was reading all of your thread but I am really an absolute beginner with installation, thats why i did used the fpc update deluxe app :'(
Is there a manual that explains me how to install that "/branches" on my windows machine please?
In attachment you see what my browser is offering me.

The branches link apparently confused you. For testing the latest changes you only need the "main" branch which is the default in our Git repo.
To get it see:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus
starting from "Getting a Git client" and then forward.
You can also continue to use FpcUpDeluxe if you want. It has an option to get the development "main" branch.
But, you don't need FpcUpDeluxe for this simple task if you have FPC already installed. Shortly put just :
1. Create a directory in Windows for the repository, eg. "lazarus_git".
2. Clone the Lazarus Git repository there (using TortoiseGit maybe).
3. On a cmd line, cd to that directory.
4. Run "make". (On Windows "make" comes with FPC installation).
5. Run "lazarus.exe". No need to install anything. Installations of other Lazarus versions stay intact. Use --pcp parameter to use a different Lazarus configuration.
You need to learn some basic concepts of Git. There are plenty of resources for that. Do a web search "git for beginners".
If you and others want to discuss and share information about specific Git features, please do it in a new forum thread. There is a danger this "TestAll" thread will become a yet another Git tutorial.

Hi Juha I am sorry for diverting from the initial subject of this thread. My sincere apologies. Maybe we can move this to a new thread just like how you did with my initial query on the mailing list?
Possibly from the point where KodeZwerg says..

I would have done this already but thought it would be best to ask you and others first.

Just create a new forum thread for Git related questions and there you go.
Back to the "TestAll" project:
I realized it had been been fixed and improved in "main" before it was removed.
It means its latest version from "main" should be used instead of a version from a released Lazarus.

And if you need to make or edit the example metadata file for TestAll, look at this https://github.com/davidbannon/ExampleMetaData
While JSON is certainly human readable, I don't believe its quite so human writable.
