The Quick Start sync block told contributors to pull from main, but the active branch is dev (origin/HEAD points there) and main is no longer kept current. Following the previous instructions left new forks branched off stale code. Sync from dev instead so feature branches start at the actual tip.

The "Quick Start" snippet syncs from
main, but the project'sdefault branch is
devandmainis no longer kept current.Following the previous instructions left new forks branched off
stale code:
origin/mainonly has 2 commits not onorigin/dev(#387, #389) while
origin/devhas many commits not onmain.This switches the three sync commands to use
devso featurebranches start at the actual tip.
