Chapter 7. ESP-IDF Versions
Important: It is strongly recommended to regularly run git pull and then git submodule update -
-init --recursive so a local copy of master does not get too old. Arbitrary old master branch revisions are
effectively unsupportable “snapshots”that may have undocumented bugs. For a semi-stable version, try Updating
to a Release Branch instead.
7.7.4 Updating to a Release Branch
In terms of stability, using a release branch is part-way between using the master branch and only using stable releases.
A release branch is always beta quality or better, and receives bug fixes before they appear in each stable release.
You can find a list of branches on GitHub.
For example, to follow the branch for ESP-IDF v3.1, including any bugfixes for future releases like v3.1.1, etc:
cd $IDF_PATH
git fetch
git checkout release/v3.1
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
Each time you git pull this branch, ESP-IDF will be updated with fixes for this release.
Note: There is no dedicated documentation for release branches. It is recommended to use the documentation for
the closest version to the branch which is currently checked out.
