+# Developing
+
+Currently the development workflow for pungi4 (devel-4-pungi) branch is:
+
+    - Make your own for at https://pagure.io/pungi
+    - Clone your fork locally (replacing $USERNAME with your own):
+        git clone git@pagure.io:forks/$USERNAME/pungi.git
+
+    - cd into your local clone and add the remote upstream for rebasing:
+        cd pungi
+        git remote add upstream git@pagure.io:pungi.git
+
+        #NOTE: This workflow assumes that you never 'git commit' directly to
+        #      the devel-4-pungi branch of your fork. This will make more sense
+        #      when we cover rebasing below.
+
+    - create a topic branch based on devel-4-pungi
+        git branch my_topic_branch devel-4-pungi
+        git checkout my_topic_branch
+
+    - Make edits, changes, add new features, etc. and then make sure to pull
+      from upstream and rebase before submitting a pull request.
+        ## lets just say you edited setup.py for sake of argument
+        git checkout my_topic_branch
+        # make changes to setup.py
+        git add setup.py
+        git commit -m "added awesome feature to setup.py"
+
+        ## Now we rebase
+        git checkout devel-4-pungi
+        git fetch upstream
+        git fetch upstream --tags
+        git merge upstream/devel-4-pungi
+        git push origin devel-4-pungi
+        git push origin --tags
+        git checkout my_topic_branch
+        git rebase devel-4-pungi
+        # Resolve merge conflicts if any as a result of your development in
+        # your topic branch
+        git push origin my_topic_branch
+
+    - Create pull request in the pagure.io web UI
+    - For convenience, here is a bash shell function that can be placed in your
+      ~/.bashrc and called such as 'pullupstream pungi-4-devel' that will
+      automate a large portion of the rebase steps from above.
+
+        pullupstream () {
+          if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
+            printf "Error: must specify a branch name (e.g. - master, devel)\n"
+          else
+            pullup_startbranch=$(git describe --contains --all HEAD)
+            git checkout $1
+            git fetch upstream
+            git fetch upstream --tags
+            git merge upstream/$1
+            git push origin $1
+            git push origin --tags
+            git checkout ${pullup_startbranch}
+          fi
+        }

+# Testing
+
+Unit tests
+    - Unit tests are encouraged and should be placed in the tests/ directory
+      within the pungi git repository
+
+Running pungi locally for testing
+    - Running pungi locally for testing, you should build the rpm, install it,
+      and run ''pungi-koji' as follows:
+
+        pungi-koji --target-dir=/path/to/store/compose/ --nightly \
+                    --config=/path/to/pungi-fedora/fedora.conf
+
+      The fedora.conf file and other files it references can be found here:
+        https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora
+            - These can either be copied down locally or you can git clone that
+              repository as well to keep with the latest configurations.
