also, how do u clone a particular git tree for a particular tag for example if i use git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6 it will clone the linus latest tree but if i want to clone only till rc4 or rc5 of his tree how to do it.
Once you clone, you get the entire source in the master branch. git branch => will show which branch you are in currently If you want to see the list of tags use => git tag -l and then if you want to checkout a particular tag to a new branch created from the master, use => git checkout -b v3.0-rc4 regards, Calvin On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 3:13 PM, RKK <kulkarni.ravi4@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Prashant ,
If its a public mailing list then I use a newsgroup reader that will allow me to download the entire patch email as file and then use the git apply on it.
may i know which newsgroup reader u use and how to setup that? thanks.
I use Pan News reader
Server : news.gmane.org Linux Kernel : http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel
thanks for that i have set up the pan news reader. i tried applying patch but it dint work. guess have to check git apply for that. also, how do u clone a particular git tree for a particular tag for example if i use git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6 it will clone the linus latest tree but if i want to clone only till rc4 or rc5 of his tree how to do it.
