+### Branch Overview
+
+After restarting development on version 3, we decided to restrict commits to certain branches in order to push the development forward.
+To give you a flavour of what we mean, here are some examples of what PRs go where:
+
+**v3**:
+
+- any kind of refactoring
+- better documentation
+- enhancements
+- code styles
+
+**master (v2)**:
+
+- bug fixes
+- deprecations
+- new endpoints (until we release v3)
+- basic functionality
+
+Just choose v3 if you are unsure which branch to work on.
+
+
