Branches

On Sep 4, 2019, we changed to a new branching model. We have switched the default branch from develop to master.

Use the master branch as the basis of your commits/of new feature branches.
The develop branch has been deleted on the server. Do not to push to the develop branch. Your changes may go lost in the medium term and never make it to the proper branch.

How to Update Your Local Repository

If you created a local clone or GitHub fork of this repo before Sep 4, 2019, do the following:

Make sure that your master and develop branches do not contain any important changes. If there are changes on either branch, export them using git format-patch or put them on a different branch.
Go to the master branch: git checkout master .
To pull the latest changes from the remote repository and to delete references to branches that do not exist anymore on the server, run the following command: git pull --prune .
Delete your local develop branch: git branch -D develop.
To check for stale local branches, run: git branch -v. For any branches marked as [gone], check if you still need them. If not, delete them: git branch -D BRANCHNAME

Name	Purpose
