Quick simple question re: portage sync and kits

[rsa4046]

Not having a problem, am just seeking simple confirmation that I have portage and kits set up correctly. I have /var/git set up to contain meta-repo and an overlay folder containing science, dotnet, and a local (mylocal) overlay:

# tree /var/git -d -L 3

101 directories

To keep this tree current, I first sync the overlays:

# emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'science' into '/var/git/overlay/science'...
/usr/bin/git pull
Already up-to-date.
=== Sync completed for science
q: Updating ebuild cache in /var/git/overlay/science ... 
q: Finished 1202 entries in 0.013556 seconds
>>> Syncing repository 'dotnet' into '/var/git/overlay/dotnet'...
/usr/bin/git pull
Already up-to-date.
=== Sync completed for dotnet
q: Updating ebuild cache in /var/git/overlay/dotnet ... 
q: Finished 132 entries in 0.002703 seconds

Action: sync for repo: science, returned code = 0
Action: sync for repo: dotnet, returned code = 0

Then, as I have xorg set to master branch, I sync meta-repo with (output excluded)

# cd /var/git/meta-repo/
# git pull
# git submodule update
# cd /var/git/meta-repo/kits/xorg-kit/
# git checkout master
# git pull
# cd
# chown -R portage:portage /var/git/meta-repo
# eix-update

The above should bring all of portage up to date, correct? Is there anything redundant here?

this will bring meta-repo up-to-date.
