+Deployments to Maven Central are performed from GitHub Actions, and are triggered when we feel

+Unless otherwise specified, deployments will occur from the `main` branch, so any PRs should

+`main` branch and the last tag that was added. This is why it is important to have descriptive
+pull requests where appropriate.
+
+Upon successfully deploying to Maven Central, a release will be added to the 
+[releases](../../releases) page on the repository. A changelog will automatically get
+attached and any contributors will be `@mentioned` in those changelogs.
