Hello CircuitDojo Dev Community,
This morning I have just gotten a personal, “base line” Zephyr app and associated driver project correctly managed under a west.yml manifest file. My demo project essentially follows Jared Wolff’s Air Quality Wing Zephyr drivers demo [https://github.com/circuitdojo/air-quality-wing-zephyr-demo](https://) directory and file layout – whew, catch my breath there! – so I am now working through errors and missing stuff at the C coding level. But the editing process is hampered. It appears that west automatically clones needed projects in a manner that those local code repos are in a “detached head state”. My git knowledge is basic at this point, but I can see this behavior in the output of west update, and also issuing git branch -a, specifically when I change current working directory to the driver project which my Zephyr based app demonstration is planned to exercise.
Is there a way to point git’s branch reference back to ‘main’ or a branch of my choosing, in a project to which I have full development and admin access on Github? I don’t expect to be able to push local edits to other parties’ projects, e.g. Zephyr, but seems like there should be a way for me to jump into a local repo of a project I posted to my own Github account. Even a repo instance that west cloned automatically.
Presently editing via Github’s web interface . . . painfully slow. Thanks ahead of time for insights the community can share on this question!
