That's why I defaulted to "master", but I get the following error: fatal: git checkout: branch master already exists
It works, but I need some input on whether and how the default case can be handled more gracefully.
There isn't really a need to create a new branch if you just want to do a checkout. Simply change
git checkout --track -b ${_gitbranch} origin/${_gitbranch}
in http://pastebin.com/deqgqjJe to
git checkout origin/${_gitbranch}
See the amendment of the paste at http://pastebin.com/C8sC7wAe
I have been using this for my makepkg-git package for ages: if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then cd $_gitname && git pull origin working msg "The local files are updated." else git clone $_gitroot cd $_gitname && git checkout origin/working fi Seems to work... Allan
