Hi,
I am new to linux kernel and trying to understand the process of different git branch to work.
So, if I am not wrong then there are different branch like stable, next, staging etc. Previously I work with staging branch so if I am making any changes for drivers/staging I have to work with staging branch like follow. git clone git checkout -t -b staging-testing origin/staging-testing git chekcout -b MY_LOCAL_BRANCH not do work and subimt
So, how it work for other source structure, like now I want to make some for y2038 -> drivers/scsi which branch should I set up and work with, next/stable/or is there any specific y2038 branch.
Any wiki link or documentation that explain this full process which branch to work with when making changes to specific directory will be useful.
Thanks, Shirish
There are not only different branches, but also different git trees, where development for different subsystem takes place usually. I recommend you to watch this presentation of GregKH. He explains very good, how the development is working. https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2014/the-linux-kernel-how-fast-it-is-developed... -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov Secure eMail with gnupg: See http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP Key ID: 0x57A3AEAD
