[Interest] How checkout Qt 5.5.1 branch to build?

[Edward Sutton]

I get a fatal: Remote branch 5.5.1 not found in upstream origin after trying to init-repository.


After reading the "Branch Guidelines" at https://wiki.qt.io/Branch_Guidelines I expected the branch to be named “5.5.1”.

What am I doing wrong here?


git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git

cd qt5

git checkout 5.5.1

perl init-repository


Also, what is the branch name for the source that will become the 5.6 release?


The branch the Qt 5.6 beta snapshots are built from?
