What is the best branch of github.com/discourse/discourse?

We recommend running tests-passed and updating when beta releases are available. This gives you the flexibility of updating when you want/need to.

Stable isn’t recommended except in select cases… like extensive customization (99% of the sites we host aren’t in this category). There are months between stable releases, and we only backport critical or security related bugs… so if there’s a minor bug in stable you may have to live with it for quite a while.

There’s some more relevant discussion here:
