I was away from building my own version for a few years so I forgot everything. This question is...
A new Pale Moon version has been released; how can I update the source code to the new version without blowing away the old directory, and downloading via git all over again? What are the commands for updating source code in an existing source code directory?
How do I update source for new release? Topic is solved

Re: How do I update source for new release?
Normally you use "git pull" to pull changes to the branch you have checked out (should be "release"), and to update the platform code you use "git submodule update"

Re: How do I update source for new release?
Is that...
git pull https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProd ... e-Moon.git release
git submodule update
I fumbled around a bit to get the first line working.

No...
You don't need to specify the git repo if you've already checked it out with "git clone" before. I was assuming you had, because you asked about updating.
First you "git clone" to check out the source code.
Then you build.
When it's time to update, you just "git pull" from the dir where you first cloned the repo. Nothing else is needed, as the repo info is already present in your checked-out copy's meta data.

Thank you. Like I said in the initial post, I'd forgotten everything.
