+# Development Guide
+
+This document covers how to build `hauler` locally and how the project's branching strategy works.
+
+It's intended for contributors making code changes or maintainers managing releases.
+
+---
+
+## Local Build
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Git** - version control of the repository
+- **Go** — check `go.mod` for the minimum required version
+- **Make** - optional... for common commands used for builds
+- **Docker** - optional... for container image builds
+
+### Clone the Repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hauler-dev/hauler.git
+cd hauler
+```
+
+### Build the Binary
+
+Using `make`...
+
+```bash
+# run this command from the project root
+make build
+
+# the compiled binary will be output to a directory structure and you can run it directly...
+./dist/hauler_linux_amd64_v1/hauler
+./dist/hauler_linux_arm64_v8.0/hauler
+./dist/hauler_darwin_amd64_v1/hauler
+./dist/hauler_darwin_arm64_v8.0/hauler
+./dist/hauler_windows_amd64_v1/hauler.exe
+./dist/hauler_windows_arm64_v8.0/hauler.exe
+```
+
+Using `go`...
+
+```bash
+# run this command from the project root
+go build -o hauler ./cmd/hauler
+
+# the compiled binary will be output to the project root and you can run it directly...
+./hauler version
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+Using `make`...
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+Using `go`...
+
+```bash
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Useful Tips
+
+- The `--store` flag defaults to `./store` in the current working directory during local testing, so running `./hauler store add ...` from the project root is safe and self-contained. Use `rm -rf store` in the working directory to clear.
+- Set `--log-level debug` when developing to get verbose output.
+
+---
+
+## Branching Strategy
+
+Hauler uses a **main-first, release branch** model. All development flows through `main` and `release/x.x` branches are maintained for each minor version to support patching older release lines in parallel.
+
+### Branch Structure
+
+```
+main          ← source of truth, all development targets here
+release/1.3   ← 1.3.x patch line
+release/1.4   ← 1.4.x patch line
+```
+
+Release tags (`v1.4.1`, `v1.3.2`, etc.) are always cut from the corresponding `release/X.Y` branch, never directly from `main`.
+
+### Where to Target Your Changes
+
+All pull requests should target `main` by default and maintainers are responsible for cherry picking fixes onto release branches as part of the patch release process.
+
+| Change Type | Target branch |
+| :---------: | :-----------: |
+| New features | `main` |
+| Bug fixes | `main` |
+| Security patches | `main` (expedited backport to affected branches) |
+| Release-specific fix (see below) | `release/X.Y` directly |
+
+### Creating a New Release Branch
+
+When `main` is ready to ship a new minor version, a release branch is cut:
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git checkout -b release/1.4
+git push origin release/1.4
+```
+
+The first release is then tagged from that branch:
+
+```bash
+git tag v1.4.0
+git push origin v1.4.0
+```
+
+Development on `main` immediately continues toward the next minor.
+
+### Backporting a Fix to a Release Branch
+
+When a bug fix merged to `main` also needs to apply to an active release line, cherry-pick the commit onto the release branch and open a PR targeting it:
+
+```bash
+git checkout release/1.3
+git pull origin release/1.3
+git checkout -b backport/fix-description-to-1.3
+git cherry-pick <commit-sha>
+git push origin backport/fix-description-to-1.3
+```
+
+Open a PR targeting `release/1.3` and reference the original PR in the description. If the cherry-pick doesn't apply cleanly, resolve conflicts and note them in the PR.
+
+### Fixes That Only Apply to an Older Release Line
+
+Sometimes a bug exists in an older release but the relevant code has been removed or significantly changed in `main` — making a forward-port unnecessary or nonsensical. In these cases, it's acceptable to open a PR directly against the affected `release/X.Y` branch.
+
+When doing this, the PR description must explain:
+
+- Which versions are affected
+- Why the fix does not apply to `main` or newer release lines (e.g., "this code path was removed in 1.4 when X was refactored")
+
+This keeps the history auditable and prevents future contributors from wondering why the fix never made it forward.
+
+### Summary
+
+```
+            ┌─────────────────────────────────────────► main (next minor)
+            │
+            │  cherry-pick / backport PRs
+            │  ─────────────────────────►  release/1.4  (v1.4.0, v1.4.1 ...)
+            │
+            │  ─────────────────────────►  release/1.3  (v1.3.0, v1.3.1 ...)
+            │
+            │  direct fix (older-only bug)
+            │  ─────────────────────────►  release/1.2  (critical fixes only)

+### From older releases...
 
-- Upgraded the `apiVersion` to `v1` from `v1alpha1`
-  - Users are able to use `v1` and `v1alpha1`, but `v1alpha1` is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We will update the community when we fully deprecate and remove the functionality of `v1alpha1`
-  - Users will see logging notices when using the old `apiVersion` such as...
-  - `!!! DEPRECATION WARNING !!! apiVersion [v1alpha1] will be removed in a future release...`
----
 - Updated the behavior of `hauler store load` to default to loading a `haul` with the name of `haul.tar.zst` and requires the flag of `--filename/-f` to load a `haul` with a different name
 - Users can load multiple `hauls` by specifying multiple flags of `--filename/-f`
   - updated command usage: `hauler store load --filename hauling-hauls.tar.zst`
   - previous command usage (do not use): `hauler store load hauling-hauls.tar.zst`
