How do I know what branch I'm on and what should I do to switch to the latest one?

If you are using devel/git[-lite|-tiny] to update your ports tree, what is shown at the first output line of git reflog show?
For me, when I'm at commit e08b1d9071b6, the output is as below.
Note that I'm on main branch.

… I just installed FreeBSD for the first time this week using the 14.1 memstick image. How do I know what branch I'm on

pkg -vv | grep -B 1 url

Output in your case should include quarterly.

I'm on latest:

Code:

% pkg -vv | grep -B 1 url
  FreeBSD-ports: {
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest",
--
  FreeBSD-base: {
    url             : "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest",
--
  local-poudriere: {
    url             : "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-default",
%

As superuser:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
ee /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-ports.conf

The file can comprise:

Code:

{
        "FreeBSD": {
                "url": "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest"
        }
}

If you switch to latest, then create a ZFS boot environment before upgrading packages.

Another thing to mention.
Release branch of base uses quarterly branch of pkg by default, stable and main branches of base uses main branch of pkg by default.
And pkgs for quarterly branch are built against latest quarterly branch (currently 2024Q2 and switch to 2024Q3 in early July).

Totally different:

Code:

05:49][root@tu45b-freebsd][/usr/ports]
 ⤷ # git reflog show
fb5ba3cd5db4 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) HEAD@{0}: clone: from https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git

It would be because of how the local repo is cloned/pulled.
The important thing is that you're on commit fb5ba3cd5db4 of main branch.

I followed the handbook instructions.

It's currently not packaged for your FreeBSD:14:amd64.

Don't worry. I've followed Warner's old (aleady revised, then dissapeared as of reconstructions) primer when svn and git was in sync (svn has been stopped updating now). So there could be different.

graphics/drm-61-kmod is not available for 14.0.
Until 14.0 is no longer supported, pkg will be built with 14.0, so there is no pkg.

I'm sorry but I don't understand, language barrier I suppose as I'm not an English native speaker. A few posts earlier I was told that 61 is the default with 14.x and now you're telling me that there's no 61 for 14 ? I'm confused...

61 is the default for 14.1 and stable/14 when built via ports.
Unfortunately, official pkgs for 14.* are built on 14.0 builders until 14.0 reaches EOL. And 14.0 has OSVERSION of 1400097, which is lesser than 1400508.
So 515 is built as official pkg now.
If you want to use official 61 pkg for 14.*, you need to wait until early October, as 14.0 reaches EOL at Sep.30, 2023.

So how can I switch my installation from "built as official pkg" to "built via ports"?

According to your post #29, your ports tree is new enough for drm-61-kmod.
The simplest way is to pkg delete graphics/drm-515-kmod and make install on /usr/ports/graphics/drm-61-kmod directory.
But using any of ports upgrading tools like ports-mgmt/pkg_replace, ports-mgmt/portmaster or ports-mgmt/portupgrade would make future upgrade easier.

If you want to use pkg to manage install/deinstall and/or upgrade of packages even if you build any of your ports, you can use clean room builders like ports-mgmt/poudriere[-devel], devel/jenkins or ports-mgmt/synth.

if you prefer poudriere, ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel would be better, as ports-mgmt/poudriere is frequently too outdated.
I've uploaded example to use poudriere casually at brew.bsd.cafe.
And if you use poudriere for ports other than graphics/drm-61-kmod, possibly my hepler script at brew.bsd.cafe could help.

Wow, thank you, lots of food for thought.
