Using KiCad 6.0 branch for build

In the past I successfully built 5.99. I am still using MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave which is not supported by the official build or nightlies, but which is it the last MacOS that allows to run 32-bit software.

I’d like to build the equivalent of the newest release, but unfortunately I cannot check out 6.0 as it is not available:

$ git branch -r origin/4.0 origin/5.0 origin/5.1 origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/master origin/weblate

Can this be made available, or is it on a different repository?

Hi @federerb ,

git fetch git@gitlab.com:kicad/code/kicad.git 6.0

git checkout -b 6.0 FETCH_HEAD

Above commands will checkout a new branch from upstream repo 6.0 branch to your local.

If you want to keep your local updated you should run:

git pull --rebase git@gitlab.com:kicad/code/kicad.git 6.0

to fast forward merge new commits from the official repo.

Thank you for replying.
Unfortunately I get “git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).” in both cases.

Can you give it a try with the https url instead of ssh?

git fetch https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad.git 6.0

git checkout -b 6.0 FETCH_HEAD

Great, that worked. Thank you very much, @Aris_Kimi
