## Hotfix Differences
Our `develop` branch is usually not yet fully tested for quality assurance, and so should be treated as if it is in an unstable state.
For this reason, when an urgent change is needed in production, its pull request should:
- Describe it as a hotfix.
- Use a hotfix tag.
- Should be proposed against the `master` branch.
The version and changelog bump should then be made off the `master` branch, and then merged to `develop` to bring the two branches back into sync. Further time can be saved by incorporating the version/changelog bump into the PR against `master`, since we rely on @MetaMaskBot to run tests before merging.
