A 64 bit image can be generated from the `arm64` branch in this repository. Just
replace the command from [this section](#getting-started-with-building-your-images)
by the one below, and follow the rest of the documentation:
```bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch arm64 https://github.com/RPI-Distro/pi-gen.git
```
If you want to generate a 64 bits image from a Raspberry Pi running a 32 bits
version, you need to add `arm_64bit=1` to your `config.txt` file and reboot your
machine. This will restart your machine with a 64 bits kernel. This will only
work from a Raspberry Pi with a 64-bit capable processor (i.e. Raspberry Pi Zero
2, Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi 4).
