How to select between magento.com/Magento-CE and github.com/magento/magento2 for module development?

[wayahead2009]

Hi experts,

I successfully installed Magento-CE 2.0.0 from magento.com and magento2 from github.com/magento/magento2, but I found the big difference about directory structure in the two, such as:

1. not able to find app/code in magento-CE;

2. not able to find app/design/frontend/Magento/luma

And the guide from devdocs is related to github.com/magento/magento2, so should I focus on github.com/magento/magento2 in order to develop module?

Please share your option? Many thanks.

Of course, the installation through Git is more useful for development than the installation through Composer.

But the source files are the same: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/2401#issuecomment-157894163
