Hello:
I’m trying to clone a WordPress installation on my local machine using Github:
https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress

I am trying to use this repository, https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git, but the problem is that this is currently giving me WordPress 3.5 beta 2. I don’t want the beta, I want the latest stable build, 3.4.2.

When I go “git branch”, it tells me that I only have one branch named ‘master’. I tried to go ‘git pull origin/3.4-branch’ but it disconnects me.

Can explain please explain how I would go about this? Thanks a lot.

ok, one solution I found was to go git checkout origin/3.4-branch, but that still gives me 3.4.3-alpha. How do I get the most recent stable build?

I’m pretty new to Git so this is an fairly unqualified answer but I believe it’s just:

git checkout 3.4.2

Tags are used for versioning rather than branches.

git tag

thanks bldg13, that was the answer I was looking for. I had reverted to using:

git reset –hard 3.4.2

They achieve the same thing, but I think your way is better. And thanks for the heads up on those references. Cheers.
