+ Because this example uses the Yocto Project &DISTRO; Release code
+ named "&DISTRO_NAME;", which maps to the <filename>&DISTRO_NAME;</filename>
+ branch in the repository, you need to be sure you are using that
+ branch for <filename>poky-extra</filename>.
+ The following commands create and checkout the local
+ branch you are using for the <filename>&DISTRO_NAME;</filename>
+ branch:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ $ git checkout -b &DISTRO_NAME; origin/&DISTRO_NAME;
+ Branch &DISTRO_NAME; set up to track remote branch &DISTRO_NAME; from origin.
+ Switched to a new branch '&DISTRO_NAME;'
