Apache NuttX is actively developed on GitHub. There are two main repositories, `nuttx <https://github.com/apache/nuttx>`_ and `apps <https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps>`_, where the latter is technically optional (but recommended for complete set of features). If you intend to contribute changes, you need the absolute latest version or you simply prefer to work using git, you should clone these repositories (recommended). Otherwise you can choose to download any `stable release <https://nuttx.apache.org/download/>`_ archive. Apache NuttX is actively developed on GitHub. There are two main repositories,
