Fixes #78

Description

This PR fixes errors in the "Clone the Repository" and contribution workflow sections of the README.

  • The current instructions reference a dev branch, which does not exist in the repository.
  • The example clone command uses coastline-extraction.git, whereas the correct repository name is CoastlineExtraction.git (case-sensitive).
  • Contributors are instructed to clone using your-username without first forking the repository.

These issues cause the initial clone command to fail for new users and create confusion in the contribution workflow.

This update modifies the instructions to correctly reference the existing master branch and the correct repository URL.

Thanks for bringing this mistake to our attention. The 'dev' branch does exist and can be accessed here:

https://github.com/fwitmer/CoastlineExtraction/tree/dev

Can you please edit your pull request to only change "coastline-extraction" to "CoastlineExtraction"?

Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve updated the pull request so that it only changes coastline-extraction to CoastlineExtraction as requested.
