177 | Once you have the repository set up, | ||
178 | you have many development branches from which you can work. | ||
179 | From inside the repository you can see the branch names and the tag names used | ||
180 | in the Git repository using either of the following two commands: | ||
181 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
182 | $ cd poky | ||
183 | $ git branch -a | ||
184 | $ git tag -l | ||
185 | </literallayout> | ||
186 | This example uses the Yocto Project 1.1.1 Release code named "edison", | ||
187 | which maps to the <filename>edison</filename> branch in the repository. | ||
188 | The following commands create and checkout the local <filename>edison</filename> | ||
189 | branch: | ||
190 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
191 | $ git checkout -b edison origin/edison | ||
192 | Branch edison set up to track remote branch edison from origin. | ||
193 | Switched to a new branch 'edison' | ||
