As of 19/12/20, this fails at the first hurdle: after cloning the qt5 repo as described, git tells me:

$ git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git Cloning into 'qt5'... remote: Counting objects: 21586, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8409/8409), done. remote: Total 21586 (delta 14684), reused 19025 (delta 12650) Receiving objects: 100% (21586/21586), 7.08 MiB | 5.32 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (14684/14684), done. $ cd qt5/ $ git checkout 6.1 error: pathspec '6.1' did not match any file(s) known to git

There's a 6.0 (and a 6.0.0) branch though - and given 6.1 is apparently not due out until April, I think these instructions are wrong right now?

Oh. Just re-read the instructions. Only dev exists (apparently) - though, as I say, 6.0 seems to, too. Still, it's confusing - can't you at least make the example usable right now for those who tend to jump straight in? Thanks :)
