Sorry, something went wrong.
In the context of the CONTRIBUTING.md document, there is no advantage to
describing the branch as a "feature branch" and the term may be
confusing. Just refer to it as a branch.
Context for the curious: The phrase "feature branch" in CONTIRUBTING.md
confused someone I was assisting today. It occured to me that the word
"feature" doesn't add anything and can be confusing. ("I'm doing a bug
fix so I don't need to create a feature branch, right?")

There was a problem hiding this comment.
We should reword this part now that GitHub does send notifications about new commits. That can be done in another PR, I'm just thinking out loud.
