[SOLVED]Git Qt 5.4.2 branch to 5.5.0 branch

Paul H.

Hello,
I currently have branch 5.4.2 checked out. I checked out this branch after git clone and before perl init-repository. Now I want to check out 5.5.0. Can I just check out the branch and pull? Or do I need to run the perl init-repository after checkout? Or is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

IIRC, you should only need to do that in the top level and it will cascade the change in all the submodules

Thanks. What I ended up doing (in the top level), which appears to work correctly is:
git checkout 5.5.0
git pull
perl init-repository -f
I got the -f option from the Getting Updates section of Building Qt5 from Git
I should have read that more thoroughly before posting. Thanks again!
Paul
