Many projects use the system of tags for their release. You can read more about tags on http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging . In short, tags are references to commits that signify a release. So whenever you want to checkout a release, you can checkout that tag and then "git archive" it.
A more technical description for both of the commands can be found in :- https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-tag.html https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-archive.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
