Hi,

I was going through this link :
https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup , and came across the
make olddefconfig cmd. The explanation on the web page is very confusing.
Can anyone please explain in simpler way when "make olddefconfig" cmd is
intended to be used ? The webpage says this : If you need to make any
changes to your configuration, run this command to silently update any new
configuration values to their default.

  olddefconfig    - Same as oldconfig but sets new symbols to their
                    default value without prompting
