+the objectives of the PR.
+
+## Setup
+
+This project uses [poetry]. Have it installed and setup first.
+
+To install dev-dependencies and tools:
+
+```shell
+poetry install
+```
+
+## Code style
+
+This project uses [PEP8] Style Guide for Python Code.  
+This project loves sorted imports. 
+Get it all applied via:
+
+```shell
+poetry run isort .
+poetry run autopep8 -ir requirements/ tests/
+```
+
+This project prefers `f'strings'` over `'string'.format()`.  
+This project prefers `'single quotes'` over `"double quotes"`.  
+This project prefers `lower_snake_case` variable names.  
+
+## Documentation
+
+This project uses [Sphinx] to generate documentation which is automatically published to [readthedocs.io].
+
+Source for documentation is stored in the `docs` folder in [RST] format.
+
+You can generate the documentation locally by running:
+
+```shell
+cd docs
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+make html
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run all tests in dedicated environments, via:
+
+```shell
+poetry run tox run
+```
+
+## Sign off your commits
+
+Please sign off your commits, to show that you agree to publish your changes under the current terms and licenses of the project
+, and to indicate agreement with [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/).
+
+```shell
+git commit --signed-off ...
+```
+
+## Pre-commit hooks
+
+If you like to take advantage of [pre-commit hooks], you can do so to cover most of the topics on this page when
+contributing.
+
+```shell
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+All our pre-commit checks will run locally before you can commit!
