Does "Publish" replace everything in live mode in Azure Data Factory

Question

I need to create some triggers in Azure Data Factory via API.

I know that it creates the trigger in live mode and not in the main git branch.

I want to know if I have published my code today from main branch.

Then I create some triggers using API that will create in live mode.

Tomorrow, If I change anything in the pipeline via UI in main branch and Publish again, Will I loose my triggers which were created using API?

Does Publish replace everything in the live mode or It will not delete the triggers?

What is the best way to create my triggers via API in live mode as well as main branch?

Issue:

When ADF is connected to GIT, how to create a trigger in the main branch using the APIs(how to prevent replacing everything in the live mode)

Solution:

1. Create the trigger using API in live mode.
2. Get the trigger details as JSON using the get trigger API.
3. Place the JSON as a trigger file in the main branch.

This way trigger will be created in both live mode and the main branch.

Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
