+# Forgejo Documentation
+
+This is the documentation for [Forgejo](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo)
+and is published [on the Forgejo website](https://forgejo.org/docs/next).
+
+The main development branch of this repo is the
+[`next`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/next) branch,
+which documents the version of Forgejo that is currently being developed.
+
+Each time a new major version of Forgejo is released,
+a new branch will be created in this repo to document the stable release.
+
+Current release branches are as follows:
+- [`next`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/next)
+- [`v1.20`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/v1.20)
+- [`v1.19`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/v1.19)
+
+Documentation content lives in the `docs` subfolder, and images in the `images` subfolder.
+
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Pull Requests
+
+PRs should usually be sent against the [`next`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/next) branch.
+Sometimes it will be appropriate to send a PR against a specific release branch if the changes only affect that release.
+
+Most changes should either be sent as a *single commit per PR*, or should be squashed before merging.
+*Fast-forwarding is the preferred merge strategy.*
+Changes can then be backported (or if appropriate frontported) by cherry-picking.
+
+Rarely, it will make sense to create a feature branch containting a series of commits that will
+be merged instead of squashing and fast-forwarding.
+Such a feature branch can then be merged into multiple versions of the docs if appropriate.
+In this case, the feature branch should usually be taken from the last common ancestor of all of the
+version branches into which it will potentially be merged.
+
+### Links
+
+All internal links within the documentation content should be relative to each page's path
+at the `https://forgejo.org/docs/{{version}}/` URL.
+File extensions (`.md`) should not be included, and every URL should end with a trailing slash.
+Look at existing links for examples.
+
+### Images
+
+Images should use relative URLs to the image files, which will be published at `https://forgejo.org/images/{{version}}/`.
