Hello YOCTO people, I would like to use standard git tool while using all the Yocto layers. NOT only Poky repository (which, I believe, works all the way with git tools), but as much as possible with other github proprietary repos and layers. Since I am not able to execute git commands using some number of proprietary repos over github.
As example, I'll use meta-bbb repository. https://github.com/jumpnow/meta-bbb.git, after cloning the following happens (chosen, since it has at least dozen of branches): After cloning, I did not get anything from the following commands, being in the root of the meta-bbb repo, namely: [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ pwd /home/user/projects2/beaglebone-black/yocto-master/meta-bbb [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ git describe fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ git tag [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ git checkout thud Branch 'thud' set up to track remote branch 'thud' from 'origin'. Switched to a new branch 'thud' [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ git checkout sumo Switched to branch 'sumo' Your branch is up to date with 'origin/sumo'. [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ git describe fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. [user@fedora28-ssd meta-bbb]$ The rationale behind this request: git is the powerful tool which should work and be solely used for YOCTO layers' synchronization. In other words, YOCTO should give some tools' (namely git) unification guidelines in some way. :-) Thank you, Zoran Stojsavljevic -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
