About this repository

The latest branch of this repository contains the examples with the latest stable version of Prisma CLI and Prisma Client (@latest on npm). These dependencies are kept up to date with a GitHub Action workflow, which updates them every time a new version of Prisma is released.

There are also the automated branches dev and patch-dev, which mirror the code from latest (synced via a GitHub Action workflow), but they use the respective development channels of Prisma CLI and Prisma Client from npm instead (@dev and @patch-dev, also updated via a GitHub Action workflow). Thanks to the test coverage of all projects, this can point us to incompatibilities early.
