Hi,
My first experience with git is failing miserably. I was trying to checkout Boost.Sync, which is not present in the normal checkout as described in the wiki [1]. It is only present in the develop branch, so I thought I have to do:
If you want to check out develop the easiest thing to do is a straight clone: git clone --recursive -b develop git@github.com:boostorg/boost.git If you've got a clean check out of master you need to first checkout develop in the master repo, and then update the submodules: git checkout origin/develop -b develop git submodule update --init The '--init' is used to initialise the sync submodules before updating.
git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout develop
That didn't help, so I also did
git checkout develop git pull
The last command failed with the error:
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
It's tricky to know what to do as I don't know what you've done to the repo. You might have committed something into it. If you're sure there's nothing in your clone of the main repo that want to keep, then try something like this (assuming that you're on the master branch): git reset --hard origin/master git submodule update Then try checking out develop as above.
