# Branches and Tags:
There are 3 branches/tags:
* **HEAD:** The cutting edge of development.
* **tag stable:** Stable enough for use by most people.
* **tag production:** Burned in long enough that we are confident it can be widely adopted.
If you are packaging Blackbox for distribution, you should track the *tag production*. You might also want to provide a separate package that tracks *tag stable:* for early adopters.
# Build Tasks
# Stable Releases
Marking the software to be "stable":
Step 1. Tag it.
```
git pull
git tag -d stable
git push origin :stable
git tag stable
git push origin tag stable
```
Step 2. Mark your calendar 1 week from today to check
to see if this should be promoted to production.
# Production Releases
If no bugs have been reported a full week after a stable tag has been pushed, mark the release to be "production".
```
git fetch
git checkout stable
git tag -d production
git push origin :production
git tag production
git push origin tag production
R="v1.$(date +%Y%m%d)"
git tag "$R"
git push origin tag "$R"
```
