The GIT repository is a complete SDK with all you need to code and test your freedomotic plugins. Once compiled for the first time open the freedomotic-core project with your favourite IDE and start it to try freedomotic.
To develop your own plugin you can start from the "hello-world" example project included in GIT_ROOT/plugins/devices/hello-world. Open it in your IDE, make some changes and compile. It will be automatically installed into the freedomotic runtime (freedomotic-core project). Just start freedomotic-core to try your latest changes.
We have a script to do it automatically, follow this short tutorial http://freedomotic.com/content/install-freedomotic-raspberry-pi
