[SOLVED] What is the Correct URL and command to git clone SlackBuilds Current ?

kjhambrick · 04-28-2016, 09:23 AM

Thanks to Member 55020, I've done a git clone of the SBo Current Branch ( I hope ).

Is this the correct command to `git` the SBo Current Branch into my local directory ?

Code:

mkdir -m /home/dld/slackbuilds/current
cd /home/dld/slackbuilds/current
git clone git://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git .

Thanks all !

yes.

as that is rebased everytime, the next time you want to sync it, you have to

Code:

cd /home/dld/slackbuilds/
rm -fR current
git clone git://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git current

Thanks ponce !

I'll do it that way but ... would this work as well to keep my local up-to-date without unnecessarily re-downloading the entire branch ?

Code:

cd /home/dld/slackbuilds/current
git pull

Or does it leave 'cruft' ?

Here's an example:

Code:

]$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

no, it won't work because the current branch diverges, getting deleted and recreated each time, it's not like the master branch of SBo that has incremental changes.

you are free to try, a few days from now, when you will find a newer tag here.

Thanks VERY MUCH for the info !

For future users then ...

1. To set up a local SlackBuilds Current repository in say, /home/dld/slackbuilds/ as /home/dld/slackbuilds/current:

Code:

# Step 1:  set up a local directory according to your tastes:

mkdir -m /home/dld/slackbuilds/current
cd /home/dld/slackbuilds/current
git clone git://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git .

2. To periodically refresh the SlackBuilds Current Directory:

Code:

# remove and replace the old current directory"

cd /home/dld/slackbuilds/
rm -fR current
git clone git://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git current

Thanks a zillion !

you can also clone SBo's master branch

Code:

git clone git://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds.git
