Bug ID: 275713
Summary: git commands are incorrect for updating source tree
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles
Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: yoitsmeremember+fbsd@gmail.com
In the handbook, specifically:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#updating-src-obtaining-src
...there is a command listed for updating the source tree via git. It states
that the tree can be updated with `git pull /usr/src`; however, this is
incorrect. To properly update the source tree via git, the command should be
`git -C /usr/src pull`, or alternatively, `cd /usr/src` followed by `git pull`.
