Branch Migration Guide

⚠️ Important Notice

The main branch is no longer the default branch and is no longer actively maintained. This repository has migrated to a new default branch structure.

---

Migrating to the New Default Branch (chipsec2)

If you have a local repository pointing to the old main branch, follow these steps to update:

If your remote is origin (default)

1. Fetch the latest branch information

git fetch origin

2. Switch to the new default branch

git checkout chipsec2

3. Update your local tracking branch (optional but recommended)

git branch -u origin/chipsec2

4. Update your remote HEAD reference (if cloning fresh)

git remote set-head origin --auto

If your remote is upstream (forked repository)

If you're working with a forked repository where origin points to your fork and upstream points to the main chipsec repository, use these commands instead:

1. Fetch the latest branch information from upstream

git fetch upstream

2. Switch to the new default branch

git checkout chipsec2

3. Update your local tracking branch (optional but recommended)

git branch -u upstream/chipsec2

4. Update your remote HEAD reference (if cloning fresh)

git remote set-head upstream --auto

5. Keep your fork synchronized

git push origin chipsec2

• Client Platforms: Pre-ADL (pre-12th Gen Core)
• Server Platforms: Pre-SPR (pre-3rd Gen Xeon Scalable)

To switch to the legacy branch:

git checkout chipsec1
