 This guide covers the usual path for adding or changing a Forge module.
 
+## Repository Workflow
+
+Use [Git Workflow](./GIT_WORKFLOW.md) as the source of truth for branch roles,
+release tags, and mission branch handling. The short version is:
+
+- Use `pre-v0.2` for framework development after the `v0.1.0` baseline.
+- Keep `master` as the clean release baseline branch.
+- Keep mission folders off `master`; mission work belongs on
+  `missions/local-mission-copies`.
+- Keep `archive/pre-v0.1-history` read-only unless recovering old work.
+- Bring reusable mission logic back to framework branches by copying only the
+  needed framework files or code, not by merging the mission branch.
+
+Example framework workflow:
+
+```powershell
+git switch pre-v0.2
+git pull
+git switch -c feature/cad-task-request
+
+# make framework changes
+git status --short --branch
+git add arma/client/addons/cad arma/server/addons/cad
+git commit -m "Add CAD task request workflow"
+```
+
+Example mission workflow:
+
+```powershell
+git switch missions/local-mission-copies
+
+# make mission changes
+git status --short --branch
+git add arma/forge_pmc_simulator.Tanoa
+git commit -m "Update PMC simulator mission setup"
+```
