?Question: Do you want a tag for most people?
First look to see what the latest stable version is (shown next to label on the left) on the github page
Then update your local repository (this does not effect the code you have on your machine):
git fetch
Then looks at what will change when you update:
git diff <tag of the version you are changing to>
If you are happy with the changes then do:
git checkout tags/<tag name>
Update your local repository (this does not effect the code you have on your machine):
git fetch
Check the branch you are on it should be master:
git status
Then looks at what will change when you update:
git diff origin/master

git pull
