The tutorials in this repo will only work on the Rubin Science Platform deployed at the Interim Data Facility for Data Preview 0.
The tutorials in this repo are subject to change, as the Rubin Science Platform and the LSST Science Pipelines are in active development.
DP0.2 tutorial notebooks 09a and 09b can only be used with uncached RSP Image "Weekly 2022_40".
Branches main and prod will usually match, except for short periods of time when updates from multiple development branches are being collected in main before "releasing" updated notebooks in a single PR to prod.
It is the prod branch which appears automatically in IDF RSP users' home directories.
Any user who obtains this repository with git clone can switch from main to prod using git checkout prod to ensure they are using the "released" versions.
The documentation for DP0 can be found at dp0-2.lsst.io and dp0-3.lsst.io.
