In general, you're usually OK using either the current Linus tree or linux-next tree. Unless you're doing work that directly intersects with other development, those should be quite good enough. Linus's tree: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git To add linux-next to that: $ git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git $ git fetch linux-next $ git fetch --tags linux-next ... # later on $ git remote update Don't use 'git pull' against linux-next, because it's rebuilt every day. Strange and wondrous things will happen. That also means that you can't git bisect between (say) next-20200405 and next-20200503 (though you can bisect between a Linus v5.7-rc3 tag and a next- tag )
