You should almost never push to the RELEASE_3_5 branch; that's the current
release, and unless you are fixing an obvious bug you should Just Leave It
Alone. The rationale for that stance is that people often want their
analyses to be reproducible. If you are constantly pushing changes, then it
could make it difficult for your users to reproduce existing research
(because they can't easily get the version they used).

Nitesh gave a really nice talk about using Git at the recent Bioconductor
meeting. You can get the slides here:
https://master.bioconductor.org/help/course-materials/2017/BioC2017/DDay/Workshop/GitWithTheProgram.pdf


There is also a page on Bioconductor (
https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/) that covers lots of
material.

As to whether or not you push to origin or upstream, that depends on
whether or not you have your package on GitHub. Which is covered in the
documentation I have pointed out.

Best,

Jim
