 Optionally set the mode to control how Fern handles SDK publishing:
 
-- `mode: release` (default): Fern generates code, commits to main, and tags a release automatically
+- `mode: release` (default): Fern generates code, commits to the default branch (or the `branch` you specify), and tags a release automatically
 - `mode: pull-request` (recommended):  Fern generates code and creates a PR for you to review before release
 - `mode: push`: Fern generates code and pushes to a branch you specify for you to review before release
