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>]
|}
