Hey all 🙂 Would it be possible to make the 'dev' branch the default in github? Otherwise when the pipeline is run with 'nextflow run nf-core/magmap' the main branch is pulled and then all the documentation on nf-co.re/magmap is outdated.

outdated in what sense?
you can specify the branch with
nextflow run nf-core/magmap -r dev

Oh okay thank you I didn't know, will do that next time.
For example I got the following error:
'ERROR ~ Genome fasta file not specified with e.g. '--fasta genome.fa' or via a detectable config file.'
which I saw on github is from the file 'lib/WorkflowMagmap.groovy' which doesn't exist anymore in the 'dev' branch. In the documentation on the nf-core hp the parameter --fasta is not mentioned anymore. This is what I meant with outdated.

ah, okay, yes makes sense. @Danilo Di Leo is it okay for you if i switch the default branch of the repo, it is usually standard for unreleased nf-core pipelines to have
dev
there

We're very close to asking for a first release PR so I'd prefer to leave it as it is rather than having to change this soon again.
