How to compile the Development Version

[Pewibe]

I have to build a Tasmota binary with at least V 9.5.0.2 or even the latest one. Until today I used only release versions for compiling. This is easy because a source file with the whole module tree is provided. For a dev version I miss such a source file.

In the doc, chapter "compiling" I didn't found the answer. Be patient with my missing knowledge and thanks for your help in advance.

If you are talking about the ZIP file of the whole tasmota tree, you can download from github either master (== release) or development. Just select the one you want from the branch selection dropbox. You can also download a given tag or commit.

The best would be to learn how to use git either command line or from within Visual Code

All the info is in the docs at https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Compile-your-build/

By default, when you go to ( https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota ) you are already in the DEVELOPMENT BRANCH.

So, there you can use any of the following options:

1- The download button in Github, unzip and run Visual Studio Code with Platformio to that folder:

2- Or open it in Gitpod as the docs (that after logging to Gitpod it is just clicking as the following image):

3- Or use Github Desktop Application:

Then in Github Desktop click on REPOSITORY

Then on OPEN VISUAL STUDIO CODE

Then in VS CODE click on compile and you are done.
