+By default you are checking out the master branch. Master is, by definition a stable branch. It always points to the latest release. However, there are several other branches at your disposal. The main development is happening in the develop branch. It contains the newest features and bug fixes. However, we dont't make any guarantees that the develop branch is bug free and doesn't contain major bugs. After all, it's in constant flux. If you are developing new features, start your feature branch off develop. Besides that, there are several smaller features branches that are used to group together commits for one specific features. To change to a specific branch, use
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  git checkout <branch-name>
