[git-users] Building GIT: how to get the set of source code on a branch in order to build it?

my interest is in creating scripts to build software stored in GIT repos. (I am a build engineer) Brand new to GIT, actually never used it, but now i have to build it. I just want to 'get' the latest revision of the source code on a branch (or master depending on the case), change dir to it,

Git pull only pulls the changes so it will be much faster than clone the whole repo all over again On 11 Feb 2016 06:48, "Suu Quan" wrote: > Thanks Leam > > > > Follow up. > > Case 2: already exists from a previous clone. > > > > Question: is it more efficient to > > 1. Do

Thanks Leam   Follow up. Case 2: already exists from a previous clone.   Question: is it more efficient to 1.  Do what Leam just said: “cd ; git pull” or 2.  Rm –rf git clone ?? (gut feeling it’s #1 that is more efficient)     -Original Message- From: Leam Hall
