 Hi,
 
 Hi,
 

-This document is only made for newcomers in Jirafeau who are digging into
-the code.
+this document is made for newcomers in Jirafeau who are digging into the code.
+
+If you have further questions, then just ask for help 🤓.
+
+## General principle
+
+Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
+
+It is meant to be a simple filehosting service, simple to use, simple to install, simple to maintain.
+
+This project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.
+
+So things like a markdown parser for the ToS or E-Mail tasks would be usefull for sure, but may be [rejected](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues/37#note_1191566) since they would a lot of dependencies and makes the project more complex.
+
+## Structure

 
 Here is a little explaination of Jirafeau's arboresence in a simplified
 view only to show the most importants files and their role.

+
+## Coding style
+
+- This project follows the [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) Coding Style
+- Files must be in UTF-8 without BOM and use Unix Line Endings (LF)
+
+## Branches
+
+* ```master``` = latest release, e.g. 2.0.1
+* ```next-release``` = development branch - all new features are merged into this branch until the next version is released. So use this branch as base while developing new features or bugfixes.
+* ```test``` = sandbox branch to test new features or merge requests, or run integration tests. The content of this branch may change at any time.
+
+## Merge Requests
+
+Please create one branch for each feature and send one merge request for each branch. 
+
+Dont squash several changes or commits into one merge request as this is hard to review.
+
+Please use ```next-release``` as base branch and send your merge request to this branch (not ```master```).

 
 

-Coding style:
+Quick walktrough:

 
 

-- PHP function keywords are alone on a line
-- Braces "{" must are put in a new line
-- Files must be in UTF-8 (without BOM)
-- Uses LF (\n) for end of lines
+* Create ticket for new feature
+* Fork the original repository, clone the own repository, add the original repository as upstream
+* Checkout »next-release« branch ```git checkout next-release```
+* Create a new branch on top of that one, e.g. »some-feature« ```git checkout -b some-feature```
+* Make your change
+* You may check if the project is still [REUSE Compliant](https://reuse.software/) by running `docker run -v $(pwd):/code --rm fsfe/reuse /bin/sh -c "cd /code && reuse lint"`
+* Commit changes → push → send merge request ```git add -A; git commit; git push``` MR via GitLab (link shown in console)
+* Feature is reviewed
+  * MR accepted: Reviewer checks out »next-release« branch and cherry-picks the commit ```git checkout next-release; git cherry-pick be4369641; git push```
+  * MR declined: Reviewer add some notes, Developer rebases his branch, adds neccessary changes, force pushes the branch, ask a reviewer to review the changes in the merge request ticket (as Gitlab recognizes them automatically) ```git checkout some-feature; git rebase upstream/next-release``` …[add changes]… ```git add -A, git commit --amend; git push -f```

 
 

-The whole project is not clean about that, feel free to fix :)
+## New Releases

 
 

+* If the release is not done for security purposes: create a new issue and freeze next-release branch for at least week.
+* Make sure to run `php-cs-fixer fix --rules=@PSR2 .` and commit.
+* Compare the [»next-release« branch to »master«](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/compare/master...next-release)
+* Add a list of noteworthy features and bugfixes to `CHANGELOG.md`
+* Add eventual upgrade procedure to `CHANGELOG.md`
+* Build and test docker image
+* Change the version, using [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/), in ```settings.php```
+* Merge »next-release« branch to »master«
+* Tag the »master« with the new version
+* Push branch and tag
+* Push new docker image
+* Update the demo page
+* Dance a little
