## Update the `stable` branch
At this step you should have already checked out the commit of the `rust-1.XX.0`
tag. Updating the stable branch from here is as easy as:
```bash
# Assuming the current directory corresponds to the Clippy repository and the
# commit of the just created rust-1.XX.0 tag is checked out.
$ git push upstream rust-1.XX.0:stable # `upstream` is the `rust-lang/rust-clippy` remote
```
_NOTE: Usually there are no stable backports for Clippy, so this update should
be possible without force pushing or anything like this. If there should have
happened a stable backport, make sure to re-merge those changes just as with the
`beta` branch._
