Recommended configuration for publishing

Using Pact + the Pact Broker in your release pipeline works most naturally if you are using a branch based feature development workflow.

The recommended configuration for the consumer Pact publication configuration is:

• consumer version number: the git sha (see Versioning in the Pact Broker for more info)
• consumer version tag: the git branch

Making changes to pacts should happen on a branch of the consumer, and the branch should not be merged until there is a successful verification from the main branch of the provider.
