+Setting up the environment
+==========================
+
+Installing all dependencies
+---------------------------
+
+All dependencies can be installed by running::
+
+  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+It is recommended to do this using a virtual environment tool of your choice.
+
+For example, when using the virtual environment library :code:`venv`::
+
+  $ python -m venv axelrod_development
+  $ source axelrod_development/bin/activate
+  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+The git workflow
+----------------
+
+There are two important branches in this repository:
+
+- :code:`dev`: The most up to date branch with no failing tests.
+  This is the default branch on github.
+- :code:`release`: The latest release.
+
+When working on a new contribution branch from the latest :code:`dev` branch and
+open a Pull Request on github from your branch to the :code:`dev` branch.
+
+The procedure for a new release (this is carried out by one of core maintainers):
+
+1. Create a Pull Request from :code:`dev` to :code:`release` which should
+   include an update to :code:`axelrod/version.py` and :code:`CHANGES.md`
+2. Create a git tag.
+3. Push to github.
+4. Create a release on github.
+5. Push to PyPi: :code:`python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upload`
