Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There were some confusions from where to checkout from, like master and dev. For new people this might be difficult, and they only realise they should raise PR against dev once they reach the PR checklist

A scenario from today in slack - https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C01QPMKBYNR/p1616421940076700

Describe the solution you'd like
Some small workflow how to start -

For new a existing repo to make changes -

  • make a fork of your own
  • dev is the latest branch, so always checkout from here
  • edit and commit
  • PR against dev branch in main repo
