+Also, when making changes, only push to the `develop` branch. The `main` branch is reserved for stable releases as semantic-release will automatically publish to npm from there. The `develop` branch is used for development and testing, PR's will be squashed and merged into `develop` and then when ready, `develop` will be merged into `main`.
