Hi Sophie,

not sure what the 'best' way is, but what I did when I created a new
version of the pdokservicesplugin, is to create a separate  git branch
for the qgis2 version, and I keep the master branch for qgis3, see

https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/pdokservicesplugin/tree/qgis2branch
vs
https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/pdokservicesplugin/tree/master

I made QGIS3 'master' because the qgis2 branch will get unused in near
future.

I checked out both branches in different folders on my dev laptop, so
can code/commit independently from each other.
