See if branch can be split off to a fork

[merrygoat]

So there are a couple of solutions to this, if you want to keep the work on this branch is to create a new repo with nothing in it then add the new repo as a remote on the original repo with something like git remote add fork_remote NEW_REPO_URL Then push the allan-devel branch to the new remote git push -u fork_remote allan-devel Then delete the branch from the main repo.

However, if the stuff is worthwhile I would be inclined to try and merge it in. Since the branches are so diverged I would be inclined to do this by hand (even though this is very non-git). Checkout allan-devel, copy any files you want to keep to another folder. Then checkout devel and add them back. After this you can delete allan-devel. This method has the advantage that you can easily bring only that which you want into the future.

On the other, other hand, If you don't want to keep it at all then delete it! I feel like if it isn't maintained then it isn't worth keeping,

This branch significantly slows GitHub Desktop when first loading the repository. I propose that we download the branch and archive it somewhere for the time being?

Doesn't seem that hard to move it to a separate repo. Should we do that?

Have copied both of Allan's branches to a new private repo: https://github.com/MechMicroMan/DefDAP-allan

From what I can gather, the new features he implemented are:

• improved Hough transform for slip band detection (see HoughTransformExample.ipynb)
• KAM with NxN size kernel (see calculateKamNxN.ipynb)
• new grain level analysis with proxigram (see grainLevelAnalysisNotebook.ipynb)
• misorientation analysis with different reference points (see referenceOrientationNotebook.ipynb)
• Taylor factor calculation (see taylorFactorSchmidFactorNotebook.ipynb)

We should try to get these into DefDAP if possible

Already incorporated into DefDAP from what I can tell:

• IPF plotting (see ipfExample.ipynb)
