OWA uses git for source code control and Github to manage the overall project.

• master branch - this is the default branch where all development changes that ultimately go into releases reside. All effort is made to keep the master branch in working order however, because it contains work in progress there may be bugs.

• release-x.x.x branches - these branches are point in time working branches created during the release process. There are few release specific changes in these branches. These branches will not be updated after a release is pushed.

NOTE: When checking out a branch you will need follow the GitHub install instructions in order to fetch any required dependencies and build asset packages.
