Miosix and git workflow

As you should already know, Miosix uses the git version control system to manage the kernel source code. So, to download and use the kernel you have to clone its git repository. As the kernel is under active development, users are advised to periodically check the kernel page on gitorious to look for new features and bug fixes, and pull the changes if required.

This page explains how to set up a software project making use of the Miosix kernel, that can later allow updating the kernel through git without creating problems.

There are basically two ways to do so, forking the Miosix kernel git repository and developing your application there, or setting up out an out of git tree project, which is a feature added in Miosix 2.0.
