 <p>Getting started with Nautobot development is pretty straightforward, and should feel very familiar to anyone with Django development experience. We can recommend either a <a href="#docker-compose-workflow">Docker Compose workflow</a> (if you don't want to install dependencies such as PostgreSQL and Redis directly onto your system) or a <a href="#python-virtual-environment-workflow">Python virtual environment workflow</a>.</p>

The Poetry workflow has also been tested successfully on the Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 distribution.</p>
 <p>To install WSL2 and Ubuntu follow the instructions from the <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install">WSL installation guide</a> or if running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher you can open an administrator Powershell terminal and enter the following command:</p>

-<p>We recommend using this Invoke command instead of directly calling <code>git checkout</code> or <code>git switch</code> because it automatically handles some other aspects of the development environment, in particular stopping the currently running Nautobot Docker containers, if any, before switching to a different branch.</p>

-<p class="admonition-title">Nautobot branches and the Docker compose workflow</p>
-<p>It's common for the Python dependencies and database schema to differ between major and minor Nautobot releases, and therefore between the primary branches of <code>main</code>, <code>develop</code>, <code>next</code>, and <code>ltm-1.6</code>. To account for this, the Docker workflow automatically detects which <code>major.minor</code> Nautobot version you're working with and changes the Docker Compose project name accordingly. What this means for you in practice is that when first switching between Nautobot releases, you may need to rerun <code>invoke build</code> once for each primary branch, and <code>invoke start</code>/<code>invoke debug</code> may take some time as it needs to create a new database and migrate its schema. However, in the future, switching between releases should be relatively smooth (just <code>invoke branch -b &lt;name&gt;</code> and then <code>invoke start</code>) rather than needing to rebuild the container and database every time you switch between <code>develop</code> and <code>next</code> as would likely be needed if the same Docker Compose project were used for both release trains.</p>
-<p>Conversely, if you're using the virtual environment workflow, you may need to manually run <code>poetry install</code> whenever switching between primary branches, and may need to manually drop and restore the database schema as well. Be aware!</p>

-<p>Sometimes code is written as a proof of concept or early implementation candidate but is not quite ready to be merged, or may be picked up by another author sometime in the future. In that case, the convention is to use the <code>prototype/</code> prefix to the branch name and not requiring the original authors username. In that scenario, using the example above, you would instead:</p>
