Everest Linux Edge

Easily update an Everest system with Git.

How does it work?

All system images contain a .git directory, containing metadata for every file on /. Once installed, a user can easily keep their system updated, just by pulling in the latest release.

What you'll need

• A separate /usr partition (Git will NOT touch /usr.)
• Git

Updating

Unmount your /usr partition:

(root)# umount -R /usr
OR
(root)# umount /dev/sdX # the drive mounted to /usr

Pull the latest version for your branch:

(root)# git pull

Or, if you want to migrate to a new branch:

(root)# git checkout branch_name
(root)# git pull
