Default branch change affecting `remotes::install_github` #216

Open dcollins15 opened 3 months ago

dcollins15 commented 3 months ago

We have updated the default branch for the repository to main. This change will affect users who install the package using remotes::install_github without setting the ref parameter. To install the latest CRAN release from GitHub users should now call:

remotes::install_github("satijalab/seurat-object", ref = "cran")

If the ref parameter is not specified, the latest stable version of the package will be installed (e.g. 5.0.2.9001). This change will also affect the default behavior of devtools::install_github.

This change is part of a larger effort to update our group's git practices. We will also be deprecating the master and develop branches in favor of cran and main respectively. We will leave the old branches in place for a little while to give folks a chance to transfer over.
