Checkout a tagged release's source code (like v17.01.1)

I am sure that sooner or later there will be a flood of questions how to checkout the exact release source code for a tagged release (like 17.01.0-rc1), so this is a short guide: You need to have already cloned the LEDE source repo in advance with git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git Then you only fetch the tags and checkout the correct one: git fetch --tags git checkout v17.01.0-rc1 Example workflow how to fetch v17.01.0-rc1 source: perus@ub1610:/r7800-lede1701$ git fetch --t…

git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git
cd source
git fetch --tags
git checkout v17.01.0-rc2

But if you are building just for yourself, you are usually better off by building from the release branch's head, as you get then also the latest post-rc fixes.
