The process is the same as it is for building from a release tarball,
the only difference is how you get the source. Rather than unpacking the
release tarball, just use git to clone the repository:

$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Then cd into the new poky directory and follow the quick start guide.
