This is what I did back in 2016 (apparently it has been that long) :
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtotaupdate.git/tree/qt-ostree/qt-ostree
I was integrating ostree into yocto based system. I remember that at that time there were some work ongoing somewhere to create ostree layer in yocto ecosystem to make the integration straightforward.

guide on how to create an ostree that contains a whole os. There are hints and mentions of git and which OSes use this approach, but I find it fairly confusing. Do I need to clone a whole OS source tree and build it? If so, how do I put that into an ostree repo? A long time ago I was using CentOS and I would download the whole source of the kernel to rebuild it with minor customizations to run the way I liked it. I've been fairly far removed from that level of development for a while (around 14 years) and it doesn't come as easily as I would have hoped. Is there really no step-by-step guide on how to put a whole OS into ostree? If there are pointers in the page you referred me to, they aren't obvious or easy to locate. I'll keep reading - seems I need to. It still sounds largely Greek to me. Sorry to bring this kind of obtuseness here. That's what newbies do, or I have when a newbie in something this intricate. I'm hoping there is some kind of ostree-for-dummies guide on using it. I'm still getting a handle on git.... Thanks!
