+# Building Boost from the Tip of Develop
+
+To build Boost from the tip of the develop branch without cloning the entire 
+history, use the command below:
+
+Linux:
+```bash
+cwd=$(pwd) \
+  && cd ~ \
+  && git clone -b develop --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules --jobs 8 https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost-develop-beta \
+  && cd boost-develop-beta \
+  && ./bootstrap.sh \
+  && ./b2 install --prefix=boost-install cxxstd=17 \
+  && echo "Boost successfully installed into $(realpath boost-install)!
+  Add this to your CMake toolchain file.
+  list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH $(realpath boost-install))
+  " \
+  && cd $cwd
+```
+
+Windows (using plain Command Prompt):
+```bat
+cmd /v
+set cwd=%cd% ^
+  && cd %homepath% ^
+  && git clone -b develop --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules --jobs 8 https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost-develop-beta ^
+  && cd boost-develop-beta ^
+  && bootstrap.bat ^
+  && b2 install --prefix=boost-install cxxstd=17 address-model=64 ^
+  && echo Boost successfully installed into !cd!\boost-install! ^
+  && echo Add this to your CMake toolchain file. ^
+  && echo list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH !cd:\=/!/boost-install) ^
+  && cd !cwd! ^
+  && exit
+```
+
+Note: you can build Boost with a specific compiler by setting the toolset in 
+the `./b2` command above. To build with clang, specify `toolset=clang`; to build
+with a specific version of gcc, clang or msvc, specify e.g. `toolset=gcc-12` for GCC 
+12, `clang-14` for Clang 14, `msvc-14.3` for MSVC 14.3. The value of `cxxstd` 
+can also be set to other values such as 11 for C++11, 14 for C++14, etc.
+
+For more info on what's possible, check out this link on b2:
+https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.overview.builtins.features
+
+This should hopefully cover the two most common cases of building a dependency, 
+setting the compiler and C++ standard used.
