master - the latest stable versions of CodeIgniter and Doctrine.develop - the latest development versions of CodeIgniter and Doctrine. Not recommended for production use.doctrine-2.1 - the latest stable version of CodeIgniter, and the latest stable 2.1.X version of Doctrine. This branch is provided as a way of keeping Doctrine 2.1 applications up to date without breaking backwards compatibility.

Overview
CodeIgniter is a great PHP framework. The codebase is clean, the documentation is fantastic, and it’s regularly updated.

To get started, download CodeIgniter 2 and Doctrine 2 – make sure you use the ‘Download Archive’ link when downloading Doctrine.
