 Alternatively, proceed as with the bug fix above: create your own branch or fork _from `develop`_ and work from there, and submit a pull request when your new features are ready to join the core code. 
 We recommend that you update your branch regularly to new changes on `develop` (using `git merge develop`) to reduce the risk of merge conflicts or your version getting out-of-touch in the late stages of development.
 We also recommend that you work in small commits, as this makes the code easier to debug, and makes it easier for maintainers to understand your contributions when reviewing a pull request.
