The script will do that if needed.

Or use the --core switch, or place the location in the config file in
the [global] section.

Updating is just "git pull && git submodules update".

That config file expects cwd being edk2-platforms and edk2 being placed
next to it (../ekd2).  edk2-non-osi too.  See the [global] section at
the start of the file.

Ok, tried updated the script to use bash not sh for that.  Does this
work better for you?

No, the script will do that.

Done.

Well, silent means no output from the "build" command, so the console is
not flooded with build logs (unless there are build errors), output is
written to logfiles instead.

Fixed.
