The 000000-dev branch in this repo (i.e., the default branch) has just been renamed to dev (simpler, easier to type). IMPORTANT: This change may impact anyone who has a fork of this repo on GitHub. If you have any trouble in the future; i.e., errors about a missing branch or problems when trying to sync with the upstream repo, please follow these instructions to bring your fork up-to-date.

Updating Your Fork (Instructions)

Update Your Local Clone

$ cd [YOUR LOCAL REPO DIRECTORY]
$ git checkout 000000-dev
$ git branch --move dev

Push dev To GitHub Now

$ git push --set-upstream origin dev

Delete Old 000000-dev Branch

Go to GitHub and change the 'default' branch in your fork to dev

Visit: https://github.com/[YOU]/[REPO]/settings/branches

Then run the following command to delete the old 000000-dev branch from GitHub.

$ git push origin --delete 000000-dev

Or, you can simply visit the 'Branches' tab in your fork at GitHub and delete it that way.

What's Next?

If you already followed these instructions provided by GitHub in the past, you're all set. Nothing in this change should negatively impact an already-configured upstream remote. If you haven't followed those instructions (i.e., you don't yet have an upstream remote configured), you might want to take a moment to do that now.
