Step3: Once we clicked the meta-cmf-raspberrypi  repo , It will re-direct to  https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/admin/repos/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi (like below screenshot).

In this below screenshot, we are able to  see 2 options under Download,

1. Clone with commit-msg hook  - This is used for cloning the project and  committing the code changes in CMF gerrit.
2. Clone - This is used only for cloning the project.

So Committing the code changes, we need to select & copy the first option in above screenshot.

Step4:  Run the git Clone with commit-msg hook command. By default, it taking as "master" branch. So please mention the branch name before you are executing the git clone with commit-msg command in terminal.

$ git clone "https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-raspberrypi" -b rdk-next && (cd "meta-cmf-raspberrypi" && gitdir=$(git rev-parse --git-dir); curl -o ${gitdir}/hooks/commit-msg https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/tools/hooks/commit-msg ; chmod +x ${gitdir}/hooks/commit-msg)
