+### Branch Naming Conventions
+The accepted branch naming conventions are:
+
+-  `feature/feature-name`
+-  `hotfix/hotfix-name`
+-  `release/2.1.0` or `release/2.1.0rc0`.
+
+All `feature/feature-name` related branches can only have PRs pointing to `develop` branch. `hotfix/hotfix-name` and `release/2.1.0` or `release/2.1.0rc0` branches can only have PRs pointing to `main` branch.
 ## Add a Test
 
 Unit tests minimize errors in code and quickly find errors when they do arise. Integration tests are standard usage examples, which are also used to identify errors.
