Git clone command with branch name code#

Use the command (3) to create a new local branch called MOODLE_402_STABLE and set it to track the remote branch MOODLE_402_STABLE from the upstream repository.The command (2) lists all available branches.This operation can take a while as it is actually getting the entire history of all Moodle versions It creates a new directory named moodle, where it downloads all the files. The upstream repository is called 'origin' by default. the remote server based) moodle.git repository.

Git clone command with branch name code#

Generally, the easiest way is to examine the current contents of version.php - substitute the branch in this url, ĭo not use alpha, beta, release-candidates or code from the master branch for production sites. It's important to check that the current state of the branch meets your needs. Soon after the branch is made it will contain 'beta' and 'release candidate' versions of the new Moodle version.

Important: Even though the branch name has 'STABLE' in it, it does not mean that the code on that branch is actually stable. Each release is designated by adding a Git 'tag', for example v3.9.0-beta, v3.9.0-rc1, v3.9.0. The entire lifetime of that version will stay on that branch. Development is generally done on branch 'master'. Major Moodle versions each have their own branch in Git.
