<h1>Working with linux-next</h1>
<p>
The <a href="https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git"><em>linux-next</em> tree</a>
is the holding area for patches aimed at the next kernel merge window.
If you're doing bleeding edge kernel development,
you may want to work from that tree rather than Linus Torvalds'
mainline tree.
</p>
<h2>Initial set up</h2>
<p>
If you haven't already done so,
first clone a copy of the
<a href="https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git">mainline Linux Git repository</a>:
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git</strong>
# or: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
Cloning into 'linux'...
...</pre>
<p>
Then add a remote tracking branch for <em>linux-next</em>:
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>cd linux</strong>
$ <strong>git remote add linux-next https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git</strong>
# or: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
</pre>
<p>
Fetch <em>linux-next</em> plus tags
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>git fetch linux-next</strong>
...
$ <strong>git fetch --tags linux-next</strong>
...</pre>
<h2>Regular tracking</h2>
<p>
Update <em>linux-next</em>:
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>git checkout master</strong> # to be safe
...
$ <strong>git remote update</strong>
...</pre>
<p>
List (recent) <em>linux-next</em> tags:
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>git tag -l "next-*" | tail</strong>
next-20140612
next-20140613
next-20140616
next-20140617
next-20140618
next-20140619
next-20140620
next-20140623
next-20140624
next-20140625 </pre>
<p>
Choose the <em>linux-next</em> version that you will work from,
and create a local branch based on that version:
</p>
<pre> $ <strong>git checkout -b my_local_branch next-20140625</strong>
Switched to a new branch 'my_local_branch'</pre>
