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

$ 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 :)
