Oce is an R package for processing oceanographic data. Stable versions of the package are normally installed with R itself. This repository is for developers and users who wish to report bugs or suggest features. There are two branches of interest: a relatively stable branch named master and the development branch named develop. These may be thought of as beta and alpha pre-release versions of Oce. To use the develop branch, you must first set up to "track" it, by doing as follows

git checkout --track origin/develop

This only has to be done one time. After this is done, do

git checkout develop

to switch to the develop branch and then do

git pull

to pull the updates. (If you stay on the develop branch, you will just need to do this final step, to get updates.)

Please note that the develop branch is merged into the master branch about once every few weeks, or whenever the developer convinces himself that there is a useful (and stable) change that needs broader dissemination.
