How to switch to different versions of WebUI

Release candidate

Release candidate is a version that will soon be released as a new stable version. For example, before 1.7.0 is released, there is 1.7.0-RC version, which is a release candidate - it has all new features and is available for testing.

How to switch existing installation to release candidate

Run those commands in webui directory:

git switch release_candidate
git pull

How to switch back to stable version in master branch:

Run those commands in webui directory:

git switch master

How to get release candidate in a new webui installation

Run those commands (this will create a directory called webuirc - you can use a different name, and you can also rename the directory afterwards):

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git webuirc
cd webuirc
git switch release_candidate
