Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [gnuradio/gnuradio] Release v3.8.0.0 - Release 3.8.0.0

[Barry Duggan]

Hi Derek,

Thank you for the course recommendation. I will certainly do that.

Meanwhile, I did:
git checkout maint-3.8
and got:
error: pathspec 'maint-3.8' did not match any file(s) known to git

So I did:
git pull origin master --tags
git tag -l

and there was no 'maint-3.8' tag. The latest 'maint' version was 
'maint-3.6.2'. Is that because the 'git status' said "HEAD detached at 
v3.8.0.0-rc2"? Is there some way to restore the status, or do I need to 
start fresh?

Thanks,
---
