Other channels
We currently have one other channel, master.
People who contribute to Flutter use this channel.This channel is not as thoroughly tested as
the beta and stable channels.We do not recommend using this channel as
it is more likely to contain serious regressions.The latest documentation for the master branch
is at: https://main-api.flutter.dev<topic_end>

Changing channels
To view your current channel, use the following command:To change to another channel, use flutter channel <channel-name>.
Once you’ve changed your channel, use flutter upgrade
to download the latest Flutter SDK and dependent packages for that channel.
For example:info Note
If you need a specific version of the Flutter SDK,
you can download it from the Flutter SDK archive.<topic_end>

Upgrading packages
If you’ve modified your pubspec.yaml file, or you want to update
only the packages that your app depends upon
(instead of both the packages and Flutter itself),
then use one of the flutter pub commands.To update to the latest compatible versions of
all the dependencies listed in the pubspec.yaml file,
use the upgrade command:To update to the latest possible version of
all the dependencies listed in the pubspec.yaml file,
use the upgrade --major-versions command:This also automatically update the constraints
in the pubspec.yaml file.To identify out-of-date package dependencies and get advice
on how to update them, use the outdated command. For details, see
the Dart pub outdated documentation.

Not every breaking change is supported in this way,
but many are.To avoid being broken by future versions of Flutter,
consider submitting your tests to our test registry.The following guides are available. They are sorted by
