+# 3D Collision Helpers
+
+Things to note:
+
+- `main` is the stable branch. Expect things to not break unless the major
+  version number has changed.
+- `dev` is the unstable branch. Expect force pushes and rebases on this branch.
+- Changes to be merged into `main` from `dev` will be done with an explicit
+  merge.
