Subject: [PATCH] docs(DEVELOPERS.md): add branch strategy section to guide
 development workflow

Introduce a branch strategy section to the developer documentation,
detailing the use of a Git and GitHub Flow variation. This addition
provides clear instructions for creating and managing branches, making
changes, and merging them. It aims to standardize the development
process, ensuring consistency and clarity for both developers and
maintainers. This helps in maintaining a clean and organized codebase
and facilitates smoother collaboration.

+## Branch Strategy
+
+We use a simple variation of Git and GitHub Flow for branch control.
+
+### Create and switch to a develop branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b develop
+```
+
+#### Create a feature branch from develop
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b feature-branch develop
+```
+
+#### Make changes and commit
+
+```bash
+git add .
+
+git commit -m "Implement new feature"
+```
+
+### Developers
+
+Submit a PR to merge your feature changes to the `develop` branch
+
+### Maintainers
+
+#### Merge feature branch back to develop
+
+```bash
+git checkout develop
+
+git merge feature-branch
+```
+
+#### When ready for release, merge develop to master
+
+```bash
+git checkout master
+
+git merge develop
+```
+
+### Tag the release
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v1.0 -m "Release version 1.0"
+
+git push origin v1.0
+```
