git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git -b 3.x

git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git -b 4.3

The `maintenance branches <https://github.com/godotengine/godot/branches/all>`__

You can get the source code for each release and pre-release in ``.tar.xz`` format from
`godotengine/godot-builds on GitHub <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-builds/releases>`__.
This lacks version control information but has a slightly smaller download size.
