For 2016, you can make an empty branch now then the process is:\r\n1. *git clone -b empty_ctf --single-branch [url]* \\(or *git checkout empty_ctf* if you are the maintainer of the master\\)\r\n2. *git checkout -b [ctf_name]*\r\n\r\nor if the branch already exists for that ctf:\r\n1. *git clone -b [ctf_name] --single-branch [url]*\r\n\r\nThen once this branch exists the maintainer of the master just needs to:\r\n1. *git checkout master*\r\n2. *git merge [ctf_name]*\r\n\r\nA single branch per ctf allows people to work on the repository without having to clone the entire master branch as it gets bigger. Github also allows users to download a zip of specific branches from the website which is very nice if people want to download a particular ctf and play with those challenges.\r\n\r\nI was messing around with the idea here: https://github.com/cm-recruit/write-ups-2016/tree/master"}}
