How do i update the local repo after downloading the source tar?
By doing git init myself?
Source tar doesn't include git info

Re: Source tar doesn't include git info
use git clone if you want a git repo (you can use --depth 1 if you don't want to fetch the whole history), tarballs are snapshots, also if you are going to use tarballs prefer the freecad_source.tar.gz files over the autogenerated tarballs form github since they include full version information.

Yes I did manage to install with git clone --depth 1, But I was not able to update the source tar.gz(releases) it would have been better if it had the necessary git files(equivalent of --depth 1). the wiki is majorly lacking, I'll probably edit a ton during this week even full page rewrite, but I'll have to test and familiarize my self with freecad workflow firstadrianinsaval wrote:

Where are they supposed to be? AFAICS the FreeCAD github release pages only contain the autogenerated source tarballs and the binary packages.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 2:48 pm if you are going to use tarballs prefer the freecad_source.tar.gz files

Ah sorry I thought they were on the main repo release page they are generated and are available here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases you might need to expand the assets list.
