 ## Getting Started
 
+### master vs develop Branch
+* The master branch represents the latest released version of Discordgo.  This
+branch will always have a stable and tested version of the library. Each release
+is tagged and you can easily download a specific release and view release notes
+on the github [releases](https://github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo/releases) page.
+
+* The develop branch is where all development happens and almost always has
+new features over the master branch.  However breaking changes are frequently
+added to develop and even sometimes bugs are introduced.  Bugs get fixed and 
+the breaking changes get documented before pushing to master.  
+
+*So, what should you use?*
+
+If you can accept the constant changing nature of *develop* then it is the 
+recommended branch to use.  Otherwise, if you want to tail behind development
+slightly and have a more stable package with documented releases then use *master*
