TODO

Most users should clone the micro-manager repository and use this repo as a submodule.

Branches (for maintainers only)

This repository consists of two primary branches: main and privateMain.
Changes made to the main branch are merged into privateMain. The only difference between the two branches is that privateMain includes a private repository as a submodule containing device adapter code which is not permitted to be made publicly available.
Note: Please do not modify public files in the privateMain branch. Changes made in main should be merged into privateMain but never the other way around.
Note: After checking out the privateMain branch it may be necessary to run the following command to make sure that all submodules are up to date in your local copy: git submodule update --init --recursive.
