  // Potential Workflow Steps
  // checkout and clone PR branch from forked repository
  // configure Release to deploy from these temporary branches 
  // ensure updates to pull request are added to the environment 
  // delete branch and teardown environment once PR is closed? - this might be a separate workflow


  // Questions
  // How do I get release to automatically detect this branch was created? should i create another pull request with this branch?
