+## Branch Workflow
+
+**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** Skill Seekers uses a two-branch workflow.
+
+### Branch Structure
+
+```
+main (production)
+  ↑
+  │ (only maintainer merges)
+  │
+development (integration) ← default branch for PRs
+  ↑
+  │ (all contributor PRs go here)
+  │
+feature branches
+```
+
+### Branches
+
+- **`main`** - Production branch
+  - Always stable
+  - Only receives merges from `development` by maintainers
+  - Protected: requires tests + 1 review
+
+- **`development`** - Integration branch
+  - **Default branch for all PRs**
+  - Active development happens here
+  - Protected: requires tests to pass
+  - Gets merged to `main` by maintainers
+
+- **Feature branches** - Your work
+  - Created from `development`
+  - Named descriptively (e.g., `add-github-scraping`)
+  - Merged back to `development` via PR
+
+### Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Fork and clone
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Skill_Seekers.git
+cd Skill_Seekers
+
+# 2. Add upstream
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers.git
+
+# 3. Create feature branch from development
+git checkout development
+git pull upstream development
+git checkout -b my-feature
+
+# 4. Make changes, commit, push
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add my feature"
+git push origin my-feature
+
+# 5. Create PR targeting 'development' branch
+```
