This branch contains the most recently released Carbon Kernel. This is the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflectsproduction-ready state.

• Development Branch 

This branch is the main branch where the HEAD always reflects a state with the latest on going trunk development changes for the next release.

When you start to work on a new feature, you can create a separate feature branch for your self from the develop branch and start working. You can then merge your changes to the development branch once you complete the feature. The following instructions will guide you to start.
