Can Simon or somebody who understands such things verify that the following is correct so I can update my recipe?

 

Thanks

 

==============================================

 

In Mingw64

 

git clone https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror.git

 

This will create a local repository directory called kicad-source-mirror

 

At any time you can update the repository by

 

cd kicad-source-mirror

git pull origin master

 

Note that this will leave files which are in kicad-source-mirror but not in the kicad source repository unaffected.

*** However *** they will over write your versions of those files! So if you edit cmakelists.txt or any other Kicad source file those edits will be lost.

This probably should be "use git to get the source tree", otherwise I think

this might be a valuable addition to the website.
