 We employ the following branching strategy to simplify the development process and to ensure that only stable code is pushed to the `master` branch:
 
-- `develop-postgres`: For PostgreSQL-specific features or fixes.
+- `develop-postgres`: For unstable code: New features and bug fixes.
 - `master`: Where the stable production ready code lies. Only security related bugs.
