+## Branches
+
+- We work in branches off of `main`.
+- Our release (aka. _production_) branch is `main`.
+- Other repos reference `main` directly from this repository.
+- Our work happens in _topic_ branches (feature and/or bug-fix).
+  - Feature as well as bug-fix branches are based on `main`
+  - Branches _should_ be kept up-to-date using `rebase`
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+- Develop features and bug fixes in _topic_ branches off main, or forks.
+- _Topic_ branches can live in forks (external contributors) or within this repository (internal contributors).
+  - When creating _topic_ branches in this repository please prefix with `<initials>/`. For example: `mb/refactor-tests`.
+- Use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) to drive semver versioning. Examples:
+  - `chore: my chore message` --> No release
+  - `fix: my fix message` --> Patch release
+  - `feat: my feat message` --> Minor release
+- PRs will be reviewed and merged by the CLI team.
