Hi. There is a few good references in this thread already but I was looking for the same info… I did the old way I knew. The git man page gives a starting point in full details and includes the references to gittutorial, gittutorial-2 and gitworkflows man pages. From an inexistent /usr/src, first get the sources: cd /usr git clone <repo> src Then switch to the desired branch: git checkout <branch> <modify, compile as desired> To update, first switch to head again (you will have to deal with your modifications in some way): git checkout main Then update: git pull I omitted all the details and many useful options. Ideally, a distributed VCS like git lets you work and save your modifications in your own branch. -- rollingbits — 📧 rollingbits@icloud.com 📧 rollingbits@gmail.com 📧 rollingbits@yahoo.com 📧 rollingbits@terra.com.br 📧 rollingbits@globo.comhelp
