What is the meaning of each of the 9 branches of Openquake and Openquake-book

[jgomo3]

Hello,

I'm studying Openquake in order to help in the future.

Compiling the Openquake Book, based on the masterbranch, i found minor errors that i fixed in my fork. But, it is based on the master branch, and before sugesting the changes, i think i should understand what convention are you using with the branches (maybe the errors where fixed).

Regards.

Hi jgomo3,

if you want to contribute to the OpenQuake Book I would suggest you to create a fork of the openquake-book repository (you need to create a Git account, and then just press the 'Fork' button).
You can then do the changes in a branch in your fork and then make a 'pull request'. We will review your changes, and then if they are ok we merge them into the master.

The 9 branches you currently see are 'development' branches, that we used to develop 'topics' that we then merged into the master branch.

Regards,

Damiano

hi jgomo3,

I suggest to:

git stash # in your master branch, if you haven't committed yet
git checkout -b oq-book-fixes # to create a new branch with the
changes
git stash pop # to reapply your changes to the current branch

When you are done, submit a pull request from your branch in your fork.

Thanks a lot for spotting/correcting bugs!

And welcome

ciao,
Marco

PS: git stash saves the uncommitted changes in the 'stash area' and lets
you to reapply changes in whatever branch you are in.
