* `daily`: The latest builds of the SDK or Runtime. They're built every day and aren't tested. Don't use them in production. These builds come from the [dotnet/dotnet](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet) VMR (Virtual Monolithic Repository), so you might need to wait for changes from repositories like `dotnet/sdk` or `dotnet/runtime` to flow into `dotnet/dotnet` before they appear in a daily build.

* `GA`: The final stable releases of the .NET SDK and Runtime. Intended for public use as well as production support.
