Start a Feature

Start your work on a feature branch based off develop.

# If you don't already have the develop branch
$ git fetch origin
$ git co -t origin/develop

# If you already have the develop branch
$ git co develop
$ git pull origin develop
$ git co -b feature/my-new-feature

# Publish your branch and make a pull-request on `develop`
$ git push -u origin feature/my-new-feature
