To get started with a specific library, see the **README.md** file located in the library's project folder. You can find service libraries in the `/sdk` directory.
### Prerequisites
> CMake version 3.12 is required to build these libraries
## Latest Release
> NOTE: All code in this repro is in development state and should not be used in production.
> NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production use one of the stable, non-preview libraries.
### Client: Previous Versions
TODO
### Management
Libraries which enable you to provision specific resources. They are responsible for directly mirroring and consuming Azure service's REST endpoints. Management library directories contain `-mgmt-`, e.g. `azure-mgmt-keyvault`.

## Navigating the repository
### Master branch
The master branch has the most recent code with new features and bug fixes. It does **not** represent latest released **GA** SDK.
### Release branches (Release tagging)
For each package we release there will be a unique git tag created that contains the name and the version of the package to mark the commit of the code that produced the package. This tag will be used for servicing via hotfix branches as well as debugging the code for a particular preview or stable release version.
Format of the release tags are `<package-name>_<package-version>`. For more information please see [our branching strategy](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk/blob/master/docs/policies/repobranching.md#release-tagging).
