-This assumes you have a v2 addon and your addon docs are in the `test-app` folder, but if your addon docs are in a different location, you can change `test-app` to whatever that folder is and `cd` into it.
+If you are using something other than `main` or `master` for your primary branch, you will need to update the script accordingly. Also, if you have a v2 addon or a setup where your AddonDocs are in a different folder, you may need to add a `cd` into that directory in the `Deploy Docs` step.
