Documents and policies regarding the Astropy Project as a whole. Drafts of policies under consideration go into the drafts directory. Other directories can be created as needed to maintain organization, but as a general guideline a new directory should not be created unless it contains (or will contain) at least 3 files.

Additionally, the issue tracker will be used to discuss larger Project-wide issues; i.e., those that are not particular to a specific pacakge or other repository.

The primary branch for this repo has been transitioned from master to main. If you have a local clone of this repository and want to keep your local branch in sync with this repo, you'll need to do the following in your local clone from your terminal:

git fetch --all --prune
# you can stop here if you don't use your local "master"/"main" branch
git branch -m master main
git branch -u origin/main main

If you are using a GUI to manage your repos you'll have to find the equivalent commands as it's different for different programs. Alternatively, you can just delete your local clone and re-clone!
