OpenEmbedded Git repository

Git repository that currently mirrors the main Monotone repository (test installation).

Web interfaces:

To use the git repository:

Anonymous clone. By default, a clone now checks out the org.openembedded.dev branch.
- ```
git clone git://git.openembedded.net/org.openembedded.dev
```

checkout a different branch:

git checkout --track -b <branch> origin/<branch>

and if your key is registered, push/pull from:

To add a branch mirroring the openmoko tree, do the following:

git remote add openmoko.org git://git.openmoko.org/git/openmoko.git
git fetch openmoko.org
git branch -r
gitk openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable classes
git checkout -b org.openmoko.asu.stable --track openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable

Why are we switching:

better support for branching and merging (this is where git shines)
much faster
much larger user base -- many people doing OE work are already using git for kernel work
