+Composer `require-dev` dependencies for Arizona Quickstart projects.
+
+## No Tagged Releases
+
+This repository does **not** use tagged releases.  
+Instead, it relies on **[Composer branch aliases](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/aliases.md)** defined on specific release branches (e.g., `1.x`, `3.x`).
+
+The `main` branch can be used with Composer in one of the following ways:
+
+```json
+"az-digital/az-quickstart-dev": "3.x-dev"
+```
+
+or: 
+
+```json
+"az-digital/az-quickstart-dev": "dev-main"
+```
+
+For Arizona Quickstart 2.14.x and below, use:
+
+```json
+"az-digital/az-quickstart-dev": "1.x-dev"
+```
 
 **This package includes the following contrib development modules.**
