because i'm following directions.
the directions say that if i wish to test that my ssh is set up correctly, then
run this command.
so i did.
now will you tell me what is expected?

all i've done is follow the directions from the beginning, for the first time.
so, clearly (at least to me) i haven't run this command before.
does doing a git-pull in fork cause that command? i don't think so.

okay i do not know what that means. i'm just following the directions here:
https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_submodule_source_code
<https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_submodule_source_code>
shouldn't "following the directions" pretty much "just work" ?
are the directions wrong?
> Ignore the errors from it and use only git submodule update
i don't know what that means
where are the directions for THAT ?

where are the directions for that?
thanks :)
