working with the linux-next tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  i just want to verify how to play with the linux-next tree.
following the instructions here:

http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Linux-next.FAQ

i took my clone of linus' tree and ran those instructions, at which
point, i have:

$ git branch -a
* master
  linux-next/history
  linux-next/master
  linux-next/stable
  origin/HEAD
  origin/master
$

  now, to switch to linux-next, is it sufficient to just:

$ git checkout linux-next/master

  i don't see any overwhelming need to create a new branch since i
want to use linux-next read-only, so here's the end result of that
command:

$ git branch -a
* (no branch)
  master
  linux-next/history
  linux-next/master
  linux-next/stable
  origin/HEAD
  origin/master
$

and to return to linus' tree:

$ git checkout master

  is that about right?  or is there a more standard way of doing this?
