```
### Access and Permissions
- **Repository Access**: Contact [Person/Team] to get access to the code repository
- **Development Environment**: Contact [Person/Team] for credentials
- **Production Access**: Contact [Person/Team] to request necessary permissions
## Development Workflow
### Branching Strategy
- **main**: Production-ready code
- **develop**: Integration branch for new features
- **feature/[feature-name]**: Feature development branches
- **bugfix/[bug-name]**: Bug fix branches
### Development Process
1. Create a new branch from develop (or feature branch for sub-features)
2. Implement changes following project standards
3. Write tests to cover new functionality
4. Submit a pull request for code review
5. Address review feedback
6. Merge into the target branch after approval
### Pull Request Guidelines
- Provide a clear description of changes
- Reference related issues or tickets
- Include testing information
- Assign appropriate reviewers
- Ensure CI checks pass
### Code Review Process
- Reviewers should respond within [timeframe]
- Focus on code quality, correctness, and adherence to standards
- Use constructive and specific feedback
