Anton (Jul 31 2023 at 10:01): Anton (Jul 31 2023 at 10:01):Should we display the code for the latest release when going to https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli instead of the main branch? This would prevent users from trying to use examples that simply won't work with the latest release.
Luke Boswell (Jul 31 2023 at 11:01):I think that is a good idea. :+1:
Hannes (Aug 01 2023 at 04:19):Created an issue for this idea here.
Luke Boswell (Aug 01 2023 at 04:36):Cool, I can have a look later :grinning:
Hannes (Aug 01 2023 at 04:40):No need, I've submitted a PR to address this and another issue in PR #5718 :)

It turns out I can not change the branch that is displayed when going to https://github.com/roc-lang/basic-cli without also making that the default branch. The default branch will be "selected locally" when you clone the repo and is also used automatically as a target for PRs.
So I think we should not make the latest release branch the default branch.
To prevent problems I'll include links to the examples for the latest releases on the main branch's README.
