How do I create a new feature branch while adhering to Ocelot's development process?

[jeqb]

Hi,

I was looking at this project and it seems like something fun and interesting to contribute to. I noticed that I am unable to create a new branch on the repo. Does someone need to grant additional permissions to my account? I was hoping to take care of low hanging fruit such as TODO's for starters.

Thanks

Hello, James! Welcome to Ocelot!

Have you ever contributed on GitHub? Seems Yes.

It is not necessary to create a branch in the Ocelot repository, as this privilege is restricted to current team members only.
No special permissions are required, as the GitHub forking mechanism allows cloning (forking) a repository into a personal account.
If you have contributed to other GitHub repositories, you should know that a GitHub contributor forks a repository into their account, allowing them to do whatever they want inside the forked repository, including creating branches, developing and releasing.
If a user has developed a feature within their personal fork, they can submit a pull request to the main repository (upstream), which is the Ocelot repository.

Kindly review our Development Process (in-repo Dev Process doc), which provides a comprehensive explanation of everything.
