Get a staging branch

Set up a staging branch with protections

I am not a big proponent of git-flow, I prefer to have an always stable master, and perhaps git tags for releases, but I might be missing something.

[samuelWilliams99]

Master is always stable with a staging branch, staging works nicely here as it gives us a nice chance to do manual tests.
Aka, before merging staging to master, we test all the examples on remote and local, so we can ensure all changes merged to master have been tested thoroughly

[szg251]

okay, yeah, I think that makes sense. Maybe in an ideal world where we don't need manual testing anymore, a staging branch would become unnecessary

[samuelWilliams99]

Precisely, and maybe once we get dedicated CI machines and plutip, we could automate this testing?
