 # - We have two main branches: `v2_release` and `v2_develop`.
-# - `v2_release` is the main branch for V2 releases and always matches the latest release package on Nuget (e.g. 2.0.0); 
-#   prior to release it is a pre-release package (e.g. 2.0.0-prealpha.1).
-# - `v2_develop` is the main branch for V2 development and is always a pre-release package (e.g. 2.0.0-develop.1).
-# - We do all development work on feature branches off of `v2_develop`.
-# - When we deem it time to do a release, we merge the feature branches into `v2_develop` and then `v2_develop` into `v2_release`.
-# - The ./.github/workflows/publish.yml file is configured to build and publish on pushes to `v2_develop` and `v2_release`.
