Got a new Mac and decided to get ansible from github vs copying it from my old Mac.
$ git --version git version 2.8.2 $ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git <snip> $ git submodule update --init --recursive <snip> $ cd ansible/lib/ansible/modules/core $ git remote -v origin https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core (fetch) origin https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core (push) $ git status HEAD detached from 9db1233 nothing to commit, working directory clean Why is HEAD detached? $ cd ../extras/ $ git remote -v origin https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras (fetch) origin https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras (push) $ git status HEAD detached at 675d778 nothing to commit, working directory clean Same problem with extras, HEAD is detached? I thought the "git submodule update --init --recursive" would keep core and extra updated? in ansible/modules/extras $ git pull origin devel >From https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras * branch devel -> FETCH_HEAD Updating 675d778..77eee2b Fast-forward .travis.yml | 2 +- cloud/amazon/GUIDELINES.md | 5 + cloud/cloudstack/cs_template.py | 17 ++ cloud/vmware/vmware_datacenter.py | 2 + messaging/rabbitmq_user.py | 2 +- monitoring/monit.py | 5 +- network/f5/bigip_monitor_http.py | 15 +- network/f5/bigip_monitor_tcp.py | 17 +- network/f5/bigip_node.py | 17 +- network/f5/bigip_pool.py | 15 +- network/f5/bigip_pool_member.py | 18 +- network/f5/bigip_virtual_server.py | 16 +- notification/hipchat.py | 5 +- packaging/language/maven_artifact.py | 8 +- packaging/os/homebrew_cask.py | 42 +++- packaging/os/zypper.py | 425 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- 16 files changed, 396 insertions(+), 215 deletions(-) I've used How can I reconcile detached HEAD with master/origin? <http://bit.ly/1WaI83Y> to fix up the "HEAD detached" but why does clean clone from github put things into "HEAD detached" state? Why doesn't the "git submodule update --init --recursive" keep the modules up today? I'm guessing the "HEAD detached" might be the reason "git submodule update --init --recursive" doesn't keep the modules up today. For many months I thought I've been keeping my local repository tracking github with this series of commands: $ git pull --rebase $ git submodule update --recursive --init Is that still the best way to track devel branch on github? I'll admit I'm a git newbie so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
