| After cloning your local repository will be configured to follow the
| |
| upstream '''master''' branch by default.
| |
| One may create a local branch to track the upstream '''release''' branch instead, which should guarantee only bug fixes to the functionality available in the latest release:
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| :<code>$ git checkout --track -b release origin/release</code>
| |
| |align="center"|
| |
| [http://schacon.github.com/git/git-checkout.html <code>git help checkout</code>]
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| This local branch will always follow the latest release.
| |
| Use the [[#Update|above instructions]] to update it.
| |
| Alternatively one may checkout a specific release tag:
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| :<code>$ git checkout v5.8.0</code>
| |
| |align="center"|
| |
| [http://schacon.github.com/git/git-checkout.html <code>git help checkout</code>]
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| Release tags never move.
| |
| Repeat the command with a different tag to get a different release.
| |
| One may list available tags:
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| :<code>$ git tag</code>
| |
| |align="center"|
| |
| [http://schacon.github.com/git/git-tag.html <code>git help tag</code>]
| |
