Making Changes

1. The openpilot install is housed in /data/openpilot. The code can be modified in place, reboot after changes to see new changes.
2. The official release branch is release3 for the comma 3 and release2 for the comma2, which comes with precompiled binaries, but most branches do not have binaries. Other interesting branches include master (latest), master-ci (latest + submodules), devel, and devel-staging
3. Binaries are compiled at boot time assuming they aren't already supplied by the branch (device will take 20+ minutes to boot). To monitor the build, ssh in and attach to the tmux session via tmux a
4. Keep in mind that at the time of writing /cereal, /laika_repo, /opendbc, /panda, /rednose_repo, /laika, and /rednose are all submodules. If you wipe /data/openpilot and clone fresh be sure to issue the command git submodule update --init --recursive after cloning for a successful build.
