i want to download latest stable bitcoin-core src files. and want to build it on my system from source.
here is latest src of bitcoin-core but its not stable for production ready environment.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
https://bitcoin.org/en/download shows latest version as
Latest version: 0.14.2
Update 1 :
Looks like git checkout is what i am looking for.

git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.gitgit checkout tag_namethe latest version must be v0.15.0.1 now. so the command is :
git checkout v0.15.0.1

You have to know which version is currently 'stable'. It's currently the 0.14 version. Just checkout the 0.14 branch from github. This will track 0.14.x versions.
You git pull and then make. Simples!

git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git
git tag
Find latest stable version (without "rc" on its name)
git checkout tag_name
*"rc" stands for release candidate
hmmm, 14.2 is latest version, stable. What do you mean by not being stable for your production environment? – pebwindkraft – 2017-08-18T11:09:57.320
@pebwindkraft i did git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin , compile, build after running and doing bitcoin-cli getinfo i am getting "errors": "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications"
