Fix the "git subtree add" example in README.md #1675

Open rcalvert-cpi opened 6 years ago

rcalvert-cpi commented 6 years ago

VOLTTRON's README.md file (on all branches that I've checked so far) has an "Acquiring Third Party Code" section that provides a sample "git subtree" command for adding the volttron-applications repo:

git subtree add —prefix applications https://github.com/VOLTTRON/volttron-applications.git develop —squash

An issue with that example, though, is that it adds the subtree from the "develop" branch of volttron-applications. That repo's "develop" branch has been dormant for over a year; its active branch has been "master". Please change the README file's example to say "master" instead of "develop".

What do you think about getting rid of the subtree stuff and just having the volttron-applications as a sibling of volttron?

I think this makes more sense and is how we are doing it here on campus. In addition if you are like me and wipe your volttron repo out regularly it makes sense to not have the subtree. I agree though I will update that.
