Hi,

There are many projects, where “main” contains the latest released version and 
„develop“ is for development.
Others use “main” for development and something else for releases.

That’s why I’m suggesting naming the threads according to what they are used 
for.

“main” for a developer is probably the branch he does his most work on (aka 
“develop”).
“main” for a user is probably the branch that he uses for using the framework 
(aka “release”).

With “release” and “develop” I think it’s absolutely clear what is on which 
branch.

That was why I suggested it.

Chris

To me, "main" is always "develop".

Best,
