- Note: `--user` is a *literal* string; *do not* replace it with your username.
|
- By default you'll be on the **master** (stable) branch, which is bugfix only for the most part (except when a new stable release is introduced).
|
||||||
|
- However, new features or more intensive bug fixes may not always be included. Instead, the **devel** (pre-release) branch is where active development goes, and it can be accessed by running `git checkout devel` in your Git tree.
