+# Contribute
+
+If you want to contribute to this project please read the following instructions.
+
+## Issues and Pull Requests
+
+We try to collect all improvements and bug reports as Issues. Also we avoid pushing up changes directly into our branches by using Pull Requests for new features and bugfixes.
+
+## Workflow
+
+We follow the [GitFlow Workflow](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow).
+
+## Standard workflow
+
+If you want to add a new feature or fix a bug
+
+1. Fork the repository
+2. Check out the **develop** branch `git checkout develop` 
+3. Create a new feature or bugfix branch `git checkout -b feature-upgrade-nodejes` (prefix with **feature**- or **bugfix**- and name it with something meaningful)
+4. Create and push your commits into your own repository
+5. Create a new Pull Request for your branch pointing to **develop**. Don't point it to **master** directly.
+
+When enough features come together we will merge develop into master, create a new tag and publish it as a new release. With this approach the master will always contain the latest stable version.
+
+## Hotfixes
+
+If something critical needs to be fixed and released please 
+
+1. Create a hotfix branch (prefix with hotfix- and name it properly) based on the current master
+2. Fix the code
+3. Create a new Pull Request from your hotfix branch pointing it to **master**
+4. Once it got reviewed and merged we will merge master back into develop to make sure it's in sync.
+
+## Unstable releases
+
+We might release unstable versions. Those will be tagged on develop and released clearly marked as unstable releases.
+
+If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
