+
+# Get Started!
+
+Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `tidal-dl-ng` for local development.
+Please note this documentation assumes you already have `poetry` and `Git` installed and ready to go.
+
+1. Fork the `tidal-dl-ng` repo on GitHub.
+
+2. Clone your fork locally:
+
+```bash
+cd <directory_in_which_repo_should_be_created>
+git clone git@github.com:YOUR_NAME/tidal-dl-ng.git
+```
+
+3. Now we need to install the environment. Navigate into the directory
+
+```bash
+cd tidal-dl-ng
+```
+
+If you are using `pyenv`, select a version to use locally. (See installed versions with `pyenv versions`)
+
+```bash
+pyenv local <x.y.z>
+```
+
+Then, install and activate the environment with:
+
+```bash
+poetry install
+poetry shell
+```
+
+4. Install pre-commit to run linters/formatters at commit time:
+
+```bash
+poetry run pre-commit install
+```
+
+5. Create a branch for local development:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
+```
+
+Now you can make your changes locally.
+
+6. Don't forget to add test cases for your added functionality to the `tests` directory.
+
+7. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the formatting tests.
+
+```bash
+make check
+```
+
+Now, validate that all unit tests are passing:
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+9. Before raising a pull request you should also run tox.
+   This will run the tests across different versions of Python:
+
+```bash
+tox
+```
+
+This requires you to have multiple versions of python installed.
+This step is also triggered in the CI/CD pipeline, so you could also choose to skip this step locally.
+
+10. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
+git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
+```
+
+11. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
+
+# Pull Request Guidelines
+
+Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
+
+1. The pull request should include tests.
+
+2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated.
+   Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in `README.md`.
