Hi. I am setting up a local clone to track fltk releases.


git branch -r
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/branch-1.0
  origin/branch-1.1
  origin/branch-1.3
  origin/darkmode
  origin/master

So, I used
D:\vcpkg [(2020.11-1)]> git clone --branch 1.3 https://github.com/fltk/fltk.git

Did this work? It should likely read 'git clone --branch branch-1.3 ...'
The correct branch name would be 'branch-1.3'

Can I confirm that branch-1.3 is also 1.3.6 ? I am only interested in the release branch.

No, a branch is a "moving target". Whenever a commit gets pushed the branch gets updated (which you'd notice by running 'git fetch', 'git pull', or similar). The 1.3 branch (branch-1.3) got at least one commit after the release of 1.3.6 and will soon be release 1.3.7 (I'm working on it).

If you're interested in releases you should checkout the release tags, see `git tag' which will show you all release tags, like this (all 1.3 releases since 1.3.3):

$ git tag | grep '1\.3\.[3-9].*'
release-1.3.3
release-1.3.4
release-1.3.4-1
release-1.3.4-2
release-1.3.5
release-1.3.5rc1
release-1.3.5rc2
release-1.3.6
release-1.3.6rc1
release-1.3.6rc2

We're always adding a 'release-x.y.z' tag when a release is finished.

Note also that the published release tarballs are not exactly the same as you can pull from git. One notable exception is that the tarballs contain a pre-built 'configure' script whereas git does not.

Likewise origin/master is the 1.4 branch right ?

Yes, but as said above, the branch is moving (and there's no 1.4 release yet).
