In the next few days, there will be a few changes to the public MAX and Mojo repos: - The **nightly** branch will be renamed to **main**. In other words, the **main** branch will receive the most frequent updates. - The **stable** branch will reflect the most recent stable release. For example, right now the most recent stable release is 24.6. - Each stable release will receive a tag in GitHub. - All open pull requests will be updated to the appropriate branch by the Modular team shortly after the switch is made. If you’re developing locally on the current **nightly** branch and want to use the new **main** branch (which will receive nightly updates), you’ll need to do the following once this change has been made: ```auto git branch -D main # Remove a current checkout git fetch --all # Get the latest updates from the repo git checkout main # Switch to the new main ``` If you’re developing locally on the current **main** branch and want to use the new **stable** branch (which will receive stable updates for major releases), you’ll need to do the following once this change has been made: ```auto git branch -D main # Remove a current checkout git fetch --all # Get the latest updates from the repo git checkout stable # Switch to the new stable ``` We’ll post another update once these changes have been implemented. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
