 We now decide to work on another future major release, in parallel of the beta one, which will also be composed of multiple features, some of them being breaking changes.
 
-To implement that workflow we can create the branch `alpha` from the branch `beta` and commit our first feature there. When pushing that commit, **semantic-release** will publish the pre-release version `3.0.0-alpha.1` on the dist-tag `@alpha`. That allow us to run integration tests by installing our module with `npm install example-module@alpha`. Other users installing with `npm install example-module` will still receive the version `1.0.1`.
