How to use edge rails?

The title says it all. There are really old questions that ask the same thing, but I think rails has moved on since then.

In my Gemfile, I've tried:

gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'

But that gives me 6.1.0.rc1 be11d1b once I run bundle install. Current version of rails as of this writing is 6.1.3. Also tried bundle update rails after using the above line in the Gemfile. So it seems that a version older than current is being used when I try to pull from GitHub...?

Here's what I wound up doing:

gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails', branch: 'main'

The branch part has to be there to make it do what I wanted. I tracked it down with rails new --help, which led me to the --edge and --master options. Starting a new app with rails new app_name --master actually got me where I wanted to go.
