# Getting Kubernetes Builds
You can use [hack/get-build.sh](http://releases.k8s.io/HEAD/hack/get-build.sh) to or use as a reference on how to get the most recent builds with curl. With `get-build.sh` you can grab the most recent stable build, the most recent release candidate, or the most recent build to pass our ci and gce e2e tests (essentially a nightly build).
```console
usage:
./hack/get-build.sh [stable|release|latest|latest-green]
stable: latest stable version
release: latest release candidate
latest: latest ci build
latest-green: latest ci build to pass gce e2e
```
You can also use the gsutil tool to explore the Google Cloud Storage release bucket. Here are some examples:
```sh
gsutil cat gs://kubernetes-release/ci/latest.txt # output the latest ci version number
gsutil cat gs://kubernetes-release/ci/latest-green.txt # output the latest ci version number that passed gce e2e
gsutil ls gs://kubernetes-release/ci/v0.20.0-29-g29a55cc/ # list the contents of a ci release
gsutil ls gs://kubernetes-release/release # list all official releases and rcs
```
