+
+### Submitting Code Changes
+
+1. Fork the repository on GitHub.
+2. Create a new branch with a descriptive name (`feature/new-feature`, `bugfix/issue-123`, etc.).
+3. Make your changes in the new branch.
+4. Ensure your code follows the project's style guidelines and passes all tests.
+5. Commit your changes with clear and concise messages.
+6. Push your branch to your forked repository.
+7. Open a pull request on the main repository and describe your changes.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+To set up a development environment, follow these steps:
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+    ```sh
+    git clone https://github.com/jakobmoellerdev/lvm2go.git
+    cd lvm2go
+    ```
+
+2. Install the necessary dependencies:
+    ```sh
+    # Example for Fedora
+    dnf install lvm2
+    ```
+
+3. Run the library tests:
+    ```sh
+    # Example for a Node.js project
+    sudo go test -v ./...
+    ```
+
+For detailed setup instructions, refer to the project's [README.md](README.md).
+
+## Style Guide
+
+Please adhere to the following style guidelines:
+- Follow the existing code style and conventions.
+- Write clear and concise comments.
+- Use meaningful variable and function names.
+- Format your code using a linter (e.g., ESLint for JavaScript projects).
+
+## Testing
+
+Ensure that your changes do not break existing functionality by running the tests. Add new tests for any new features or bug fixes.
+
+To run tests:
+```sh
+sudo go test -v ./...
+```
+
+Features can only be accepted if rootful tests (Integration Tests on the CI) pass successfully. Only passing Unit Tests is not enough.
