Branches

heemod branches follow the git flow branching model. Everything is explained here. Consider using the git-flow extension, described here.

In order to work with Github features the branches are not named like the original git flow description:

• The development branch is called master.
• The release branch is called cran.

In practice, if you want to fix a bug or add a feature:

• If you don't have write access to the repository, do a pull request.
• Fork from master.

If you have write access:

• Create an issue on the topic on Github.
• Create a feature or bugfix branch with git-flow.
• Name it like the ID of the issue you just created (e.g. resulting in feature/123 or bugfix/101).
