Now you may begin development. Once your development is complete, please ensure that the code builds successfully and that all tests pass using the instructions in the next sections.
Follow these steps to build the code
cd sample-apps-for-Qualcomm-Robotics-RB5-platform
Follow each README in the respective folder to build the sample application
Commit the code and checkpoint it on your branch using the following procedure.
To display the files that you modified or added:
git status
To stage new (untracked) or existing files or folders for commit, do the following for each file or folder name that was added or changed:
git add <file or folder name that was added or changed>
To commit your changes:
git commit -s -m "Commit message"
IMPORTANT: The -s option is required during the commit step (DCO signoff).
To push your branch to the remote:
git push origin branch_short_feature_description
Before merging, it is recommended that you update your branch to the latest on develop using the following steps:
git fetch
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout branch_short_feature_description
Rebase your changes:
git rebase develop
Fix any conflicts that may arise. Then complete the rebasing procedure as follows:
git status
# Run the next 2 commands ONLY IF you needed to fix any conflicts.
# Run this for each file that you changed
git add <file or folder name that was added or changed>
git rebase --continue
Re-build the code on your branch and run all tests. Then update your remote branch:
git push origin branch_short_feature_description --force-with-lease
It is recommended that you commit code to your branches often. Prior to pushing the code and submitting PRs, please try to clean up your branch by squashing multiple commits together and amending commit messages as appropriate. See these pages for details:
