+### GitHub Workflow
+
+We're following basic GitHub Flow. If you have no idea what we're talking about, check out [GitHub's official guide](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/). Note that merge is only performed by the repository maintainer.
+
+Guide for performing commits:
+
+* Isolate each commit to one component/bugfix/issue/feature
+* Use a standard commit message format:
+
+>     [component/folder touched]: Description intent of your changes
+> 
+>     [List of changes]
+>     
+> 	  Signed-off-by: Your Name [email protected]
+    
+For example:
+
+>     swss-common: Stabilize the ConsumerTable
+>     
+>     * Fixing autoreconf
+>     * Fixing unit-tests by adding checkers and initialize the DB before start
+>     * Adding the ability to select from multiple channels
+>     * Health-Monitor - The idea of the patch is that if something went wrong with the notification channel, 
+>       we will have the option to know about it (Query the LLEN table length).
+>       
+>       Signed-off-by: [email protected]
