RE: Building app with nRF Connect SDK in private repo

Hi Brian,

I would suggest making a fork of the nrf repo.

Then you would need to clone that fork to your local computer:

mkdir ncs && cd ncs
git clone https://github.com/<username>/fw-nrfconnect-nrf nrf

Then you add the upstream repository as remote:

cd nrf
git remote add ncs https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-nrf
git remote -v

Then you 'checkout' the latest stable tag (v1.0.0) and make a branch of that:

git checkout v1.0.0
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

Then you would need to initialize west and get the other repositories:

cd ..
west init -l nrf
cd nrf
west update

and then you can 'git push' to get the changes up to your github.

git push --set-upstream origin <name_of_your_branch>

When there comes some new updates from upstream you can get those by:

cd nrf
git checkout master
git fetch ncs
git merge ncs/master

Best Regards,

Martin L.
