-
-1. Use Hamachi or ZeroTier (I prefer Hamachi) and create a network.
-2. All participants need to join this network.
-3. Go to Blender and install Multi-User in the preferneces.
-4. Setup and start the session:
-
-    * **Host**: After activating Multi-User as an Add-On, press N and go on Multi-User.
-    Then, put the IP of your network where IP is asked for.
-    Leave Port and IPC Port on default(5555 and 5561). Increase the Timeout(ms) if the connection is not stable.
-    Then press on "host".
-
-    * **Guest**: After activating Multi-User as an Add-On, press N and go to Multi-User
-    Then, put the IP of your network where IP is asked for. 
-    Leave Port and IPC Port on default(5555 and 5561)(Simpler, put the same information that the host is using. 
-    BUT,it needs 4 ports for communication. Therefore, you need to put 5555+count of guests [up to 4]. ). 
-    Increase the Timeout(ms) if the connection is not stable. Then press on "connexion".
-
-.. rubric:: What do you need to check if you can't host?
-
-You need to check, if the IP and all ports are correct. If it's not loading, because you laoded a project before hosting, it's not your fault.
-Then the version is not sable yet (the project contains data, that is not made stable yet).
-
-.. rubric:: What do you need to check if you can't connect?
-
-Check, if you are connected to the network (VPN) of the host. Also, check if you have all of the information like the host has.
-Maybe you have different versions (which shouldn't be the case after Auto-Updater is introduced). 
-
-.. rubric:: You are connected, but you dont see anything?
-
-After pressing N, go presence overlay and check the box. 
-Also, go down and uncheck the box "Show only owned"(unless you need privacy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ).
-
-If it's still not working, hit the support channel on the discord channel "multi-user". This little helping text is produced by my own experience 
-(Ultr-X).
-In order to bring attention to other problems, please @ me on the support channel. Every problem brought to me will be documentated to optimize and update this text.

 Contributing code
 =================
 
-1. Fork it (https://gitlab.com/yourname/yourproject/fork)
+In general, this project follows the `Gitflow Workflow <https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow>`_. It may help to understand that there are three different repositories - the upstream (main multi-user project repository, designated in git by 'upstream'), remote (forked repository, designated in git by 'origin'), and the local repository on your machine.
-2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/fooBar)
+The following example suggests how to contribute a feature.
-3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some fooBar')
+
-4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/fooBar)
+1. Fork the project into a new repository:
-5. Create a new Pull Request
+    https://gitlab.com/yourname/multi-user
+
+2. Clone the new repository locally:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git clone https://gitlab.com/yourname/multi-user.git
+
+3. Keep your fork in sync with the main repository by setting up the upstream pointer once. cd into your git repo and then run:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+    
+        git remote add upstream https://gitlab.com/slumber/multi-user.git
+
+4. Now, locally check out the develop branch, upon which to base your new feature branch:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git checkout develop
+
+5. Fetch any changes from the main upstream repository into your fork (especially if some time has passed since forking):
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git fetch upstream
+    
+    'Fetch' downloads objects and refs from the repository, but doesn’t apply them to the branch we are working on. We want to apply the updates to the branch we will work from, which we checked out in step 4. 
+
+6. Let's merge any recent changes from the remote upstream (original repository's) 'develop' branch into our local 'develop' branch:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git merge upstream/develop
+
+7. Update your forked repository's remote 'develop' branch with the fetched changes, just to keep things tidy. Make sure you haven't committed any local changes in the interim:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git push origin develop
+
+8. Locally create your own new feature branch from the develop branch, using the syntax:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git checkout -b feature/yourfeaturename
+    ...where 'feature/' designates a feature branch, and 'yourfeaturename' is a name of your choosing
+
+9. Add and commit your changes, including a commit message:
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git commit -am 'Add fooBar'
+
+10. Push committed changes to the remote copy of your new feature branch which will be created in this step:
+    
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git push -u origin feature/yourfeaturename
+
+    If it's been some time since performing steps 4 through 7, make sure to checkout 'develop' again and pull the latest changes from upstream before checking out and creating feature/yourfeaturename and pushing changes. Alternatively, checkout 'feature/yourfeaturename' and simply run:
+    
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        git rebase upstream/develop
+
+    and your staged commits will be merged along with the changes. More information on `rebasing here <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing>`_
+
+.. Hint:: -u option sets up your locally created new branch to follow a remote branch which is now created with the same name on your remote repository.
+
+11. Finally, create a new Pull/Merge Request on Gitlab to merge the remote version of this new branch with commited updates, back into the upstream develop branch, finalising the integration of the new feature.
+
+12. Thanks for contributing!
+
+.. Note:: For hotfixes, replace 'feature/' with 'hotfix/' and base the new branch off the parent 'master' branch instead of 'develop' branch. Make sure to checkout 'master' before running step 8
+.. Note:: Let's follow the Atlassian `Gitflow Workflow <https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow>`_, except for one main difference - submitting a pull request rather than merging by ourselves.
+.. Note:: See `here <https://philna.sh/blog/2018/08/21/git-commands-to-keep-a-fork-up-to-date/>`_ or `here <https://stefanbauer.me/articles/how-to-keep-your-git-fork-up-to-date>`_ for instructions on how to keep a fork up to date.
