 ## Compiling / Developing
 
+**If you're going to be diving into the code, please use the [refactor branch](https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat/tree/refactor) or see [issue #87](https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat/pull/87).** It's not quite at feature parity yet, but the code is way nicer. The master branch is what's running on chat.shazow.net, but that will change soon.

 You can compile ssh-chat by using `make build`. The resulting binary is portable and
 can be run on any system with a similar OS and CPU arch. Go 1.3 or higher is required to compile.
