git checkout how-to for Linux

[Riverhead]

I found a funny interview where Linus Torvalds talks about git :D

I'm not sure. It's getting hard to predict the next technology fashion. I have a text editor I've been using myself that is so complicated it makes VIM look like Notepad — maybe I'll release that.

Wait what??

LOL. I thought text editing was solved. Does it display text in three dimensions so you can literally fork a line of thinking?

The number (or at least the first digits of it) is located on the left side of the release below the tag that says 0.4.7

[archLinuxUser]

Cool!  Thanks for the info!

You are running 0.4.7
The about output shows that it's commit 987d55167097aceab2fdf7ba98bc6ff0c255378d which is tagged in the git repo as 0.4.7
You can use gitk to view the commits and tags.

I asked in another thread, but I think this is the appropriate thread to ask in.

How can I find out if I'm running the 0.4.7 client on Arch Linux OS?

I had just built from git about 10 minutes ago and I can't seem to see the version 0.4.7 anywhere.  I don't have good eyes, so it could be I'm just missing it.

Ah .. I know see your issue ..

git pull origin master
is what you want to do
or even better
git pull origin 0.4.7

[38PTSWarrior]

wait, I found it out :D
git pull https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx.git

[xeroc]

get the repo first:

git clone https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx.git

once you have it you can update it with
git pull

[38PTSWarrior]

When I do git pull this comes:

bitsharesx$ git pull
You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which
branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>


Should I put something after git pull?

[Riverhead]

I compile only the client, using "make bit shares_client"

Will that capture changes in the tool kit?

[Riverhead]

Go to your source directory of your previous version (mine is/home/river/github/bitsharesx) and type:
git pull
This just pull the delta
git checkout 0.4.6
./setenv.sh
git submodule init
git submodule update
cmake .
make

[38PTSWarrior]

You gave me some good info, thx!
I could not wait for an answer and started already, almost at the 78% peak..

Next time I will use your tips. I guess it saves tons of time to only make bitshares_client.

[svk]

Thanks, so now I will update to 0.4.7 by doing:

Delete bitsharesx and everything but the wallet folder of BitShares X (I have made a wallet backup with wallet_export_to_json <json_filename>)

Go to terminal
git clone https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx.git
cd bitsharesx
git checkout 0.4.7
git submodule init
git submodule update
cmake .
make

Correct?

I do the same thing, except for deleting the old directory. I clone into a new one with the version name, and keep the old one for a while just in case..
