Compiling: switch from 23.05.5 to SNAPSHOT

[jeff47]

I think this is probably a pretty basic git question, but I want to do this correctly.

For the original build, I cloned & pulled the repo, then issued:

git branch -a
git tag
git checkout v23.05.5

Now I'd like to switch to the SNAPSHOT. What git commands will do that?

There is no branch called SNAPSHOT.
If you refer by SNAPSHOT the main development branch snapshot builds, the command to switch into that branch is
git checkout main (or master)

If you want 23.05-SNAPSHOT, you already have the correct 23.05 branch...

I want the equivalent of going into the firmware selector and choosing "SNAPSHOT"... the nightly build.

[hnyman]

git checkout main, like I said

But also note that for e8450/rt3200, before the flashing the main/master firmware update you will need to run the correct new version of Daniel's ubi installer.

Unless I'm in the wrong thread, this isn't related to the Belkin Rt3200. It's for an RPi4.

[hnyman]

Yeah, my bad. My thoughts were still on the previous thread that I had read.

But I think you need to do make dirclean or distclean after the switch...

[jeff47]

Yes, thanks for that reminder!
