Hi,

I have trivial question on GIT. I've made local copy of Linus's linux-2.6.git repository with following git command, --- # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6.git ---

After this, I would like to know how to synchronize local copy and keep updated with Linus's. I guess cloning everyday would be bad idea as it is heavy operation. Can someone guide me on how to?

Thank you,

Allexio

Yes, go into the directory and execute git pull

If you want to know more, a good start is http://git.or.cz/

There you'll find links to tutorials and more.
