 **_NOTE:_** Bevy is currently being updated at a rapid pace. Taking a dependency on the git repo instead of the cargo crate will allow you to receive the latest updates as fast as possible. *However*, **there are often breaking changes made to APIs and behavior**. This means that it will be important to keep up with the latest developments with bevy. **This is not recommended for people who are just getting started with bevy.**
 ```toml
 [dependencies]
-bevy = { git = "https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy" }
+bevy = { git = "https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy", branch = "main" }
 ```
 
 In general it's a good idea to lock in to a specific commit hash, which gives you control over when you take updates. You can find the [latest commit hash here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/commits/main) (to the right of each commit).
