Confused between tags and branch

  • Hi kszaq

    I'm confused with the tags and branches of your git repository

    I'm trying to identify the changes between 2016-10-03-devel and 2016-10-11-devel

    You have only one visible branch, libreelec-7.0 last commit from September 3be647e22d7a5cee8b2e8305277b5957eb679930
    You also have a tags for October like 2016-10-11-devel that not belongs to an branch.... how is that possible?

  • In Git you can have a tag that points to a commit not belonging to any branch.

    The purpose of libreelec-7.0 branch in my repo is for release commits. I don't like to have all the devel mess public.

    As I said before, my development workflow includes rebasing and fixing commits down the way. 2016-10-11-devel tag is only for reference for people who want to build themselves. You should expect that it may not be the base for future relase build.
