as others said before, meta-bbb is a proper git tree. and for obvious reasons, github is definitely a decent git service provider. > > So, as I said/wrote in the initial email. The concrete meta-bbb does > not support git tag, git describe. The problem you are seeing is that no git tag have been pushed to meta-bbb, but that doesn't make meta-bbb an invalid git repo, or an invalid OpenEmbedded layer. What we expect from OE layer is to provide branches which track the oe-core repo (e.g. master, thud, sumo, ...), but there is no requirement for tags. > > Once I have no tags, I could not do anything with git log.

Since I see that gitlab does support it (after reading, I > assume this is done for gitlab in full extend). This is not correct. I hope the clarifications above would be helpful. github definitely supports git very well, so does gitlab. > > Peace! > > Best Regards, > Zoran > _______ > On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 12:27 PM Burton, Ross <ross.bur...@intel.com> wrote: > > > > On Wed, 28 Nov 2018 at 11:22, Zoran Stojsavljevic > > <zoran.stojsavlje...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Since with git I can do almost whatever with kernel.org (and > > > derivatives, all known distros) git...
