+6. [CI/CD Pipeline](#cicd-pipeline)
+7. [Branch Protection and Merge Requirements](#branch-protection-and-merge-requirements)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone ssh://git@dogar.darkhelm.org:2222/DarkHelm.org/plex-playlist.git
+cd plex-playlist
+
+# Start development environment
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# Set up pre-commit (recommended)
+pip install pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+
+# Create a feature branch and start developing
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+## Development Environment Setup
+
+### Local Development with Docker Compose
+
+The project uses `compose.dev.yml` for local development, which provides:
+
+- **Backend**: FastAPI application with hot reload
+- **Frontend**: Vite development server with hot module replacement
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL with persistent data
+- **Development Tools**: Pre-configured with all necessary dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Start all services
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml logs -f
+
+# Stop services
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml down
+
+# Rebuild after dependency changes
+docker compose -f compose.dev.yml up -d --build
+```
+
+### Service Access
+
+- **Frontend**: http://localhost:3000
+- **Backend API**: http://localhost:8000
+- **API Documentation**: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- **Database**: localhost:5432 (user: `plex`, password: see `secrets/postgres_password`)
+
+## Git Workflow
+
+### Branch Strategy
+
+The project follows a feature branch workflow with strict main branch protection:
+
+1. **Main Branch**: Always deployable, protected from direct commits
+2. **Feature Branches**: All work done in feature branches (`feature/feature-name`)
+3. **Pull Requests**: Required for all changes to main
+
+### Creating a Feature Branch
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're on main and up to date
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+
+# Create and switch to feature branch
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+
+# Push branch to remote
+git push -u origin feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+### Making Changes
+
+```bash
+# Make your changes
+# ... edit files ...
+
+# Stage and commit
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: add new playlist functionality"
+
+# Push changes
+git push
+```
+
+### Creating a Pull Request
+
+1. Push your feature branch to the remote repository
+2. Navigate to the Gitea web interface
+3. Create a Pull Request from your feature branch to `main`
+4. Ensure all CI checks pass (100% green required)
+5. Request review from team members
+6. Merge only after approval and passing CI
+
+## Pre-commit Hooks
+
+### Why Pre-commit is Recommended
+
+Pre-commit hooks provide immediate feedback and prevent CI failures by running the same validation locally that runs in CI. Benefits:
+
+- **Fast Feedback**: Catch issues before pushing
+- **Consistent Quality**: Same tools and configurations as CI
+- **Time Saving**: Avoid CI failure cycles
+- **Team Standards**: Automatic code formatting and linting
+
+### Installation and Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install pre-commit (if not already installed)
+pip install pre-commit
+
+# Install hooks for this repository
+pre-commit install
+
+# Optionally, run on all files initially
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+Pre-commit automatically runs on every `git commit` and will:
+- Format code (Prettier, Ruff)
+- Check syntax (ESLint, Pyright)
+- Validate files (YAML, TOML, trailing whitespace)
+- Run quick tests and linting
+
+If any hook fails, the commit is blocked until issues are fixed.
+
+### Pre-commit is Optional
+
+While strongly recommended, pre-commit is not required because:
+- **CI Validation**: All the same checks run in CI
+- **Developer Choice**: Some prefer manual tool usage
+- **Learning**: Developers can run tools individually to understand them
+
+However, without pre-commit, you'll need to manually run tools and may face CI failures.
+
+## Manual Tool Usage
+
+If you prefer not to use pre-commit, here's how to run each tool manually:
+
+### Backend Tools (Python)
+
+Navigate to the `backend/` directory for all backend commands.
+
+#### Code Formatting
+```bash
+# Format code with Ruff
+uv run ruff format .
+
+# Fix auto-fixable linting issues
+uv run ruff check . --fix
+```
+
+#### Type Checking
+```bash
+# Run Pyright type checker
+uv run pyright
+```
+
+#### Testing
+```bash
+# Run unit tests
+uv run pytest
+
+# Run tests with coverage
+uv run pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html
+
+# Run integration tests
+uv run pytest tests/integration/
+
+# Run doctests
+uv run xdoctest src/
+```
+
+#### Documentation
+```bash
+# Check docstring style
+uv run darglint src/
+```
+
+### Frontend Tools (TypeScript/Vue)
+
+Navigate to the `frontend/` directory for all frontend commands.
+
+#### Code Formatting
+```bash
+# Format code with Prettier
+yarn format
+
+# Check formatting
+yarn format:check
+```
+
+#### Linting
+```bash
+# Run ESLint
+yarn lint
+
+# Fix auto-fixable ESLint issues
+yarn lint:fix
+
+# Check TypeScript documentation
+yarn lint:tsdoc
+```
+
+#### Type Checking
+```bash
+# Run Vue TypeScript compiler
+yarn type-check
+```
+
+#### Testing
+```bash
+# Run unit tests
+yarn test
+
+# Run unit tests with coverage
+yarn test:coverage
+
+# Run E2E tests
+yarn test:e2e
+```
+
+### Project-wide Tools
+
+#### YAML/TOML Validation
+```bash
+# Check YAML files
+pre-commit run check-yaml --all-files
+
+# Check TOML files
+pre-commit run check-toml --all-files
+```
+
+#### File Quality
+```bash
+# Fix trailing whitespace
+pre-commit run trailing-whitespace --all-files
+
+# Fix end-of-file issues
+pre-commit run end-of-file-fixer --all-files
+```
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+### Pipeline Overview
+
+The CI/CD pipeline runs automatically on:
+- Push to any branch
+- Pull requests to `main` or `develop`
+
+### Pipeline Jobs
+
+All jobs run in parallel after the setup phase:
+
+1. **Setup**: Builds and pushes the CI/CD Docker image
+2. **Code Quality**:
+   - Trailing whitespace check
+   - End-of-file formatting
+   - YAML syntax validation
+   - TOML syntax validation
+3. **Backend Validation**:
+   - Ruff formatting check
+   - Ruff linting
+   - Pyright type checking
+   - Darglint docstring validation
+   - Unit tests with coverage
+   - Integration tests
+   - Doctests (xdoctest)
+4. **Frontend Validation**:
+   - Prettier formatting check
+   - ESLint linting
+   - TypeScript compilation
+   - Unit tests with coverage
+   - E2E tests (Playwright)
+
+### CI/CD Design Principles
+
+- **Single Source of Truth**: All CI jobs use the same pre-commit hooks as local development
+- **Parallel Execution**: Maximum efficiency with concurrent job execution
+- **Fast Feedback**: Jobs fail fast on first error
+- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Every aspect of code quality is validated
+
+### Viewing CI Results
+
+1. Navigate to your pull request in Gitea
+2. Check the "Checks" tab for detailed results
+3. Click on individual job names to see logs
+4. All jobs must pass (100% green) before merging
+
+## Branch Protection and Merge Requirements
+
+### Main Branch Protection
+
+The `main` branch is protected with the following requirements:
+
+1. **No Direct Pushes**: All changes must come through pull requests
+2. **CI Must Pass**: All CI/CD jobs must be 100% green
+3. **Review Required**: At least one team member approval needed
+4. **Up-to-date Branch**: Feature branch must be current with main
+
+### Merge Process
+
+1. Create pull request from feature branch
+2. Wait for all CI checks to complete successfully
+3. Address any CI failures by pushing fixes to the feature branch
+4. Request and receive code review approval
+5. Ensure branch is up-to-date with main
+6. Merge pull request (only available when all requirements met)
+
+### If CI Fails
+
+When CI fails:
+
+1. **Check Logs**: Review the failed job logs in Gitea
+2. **Fix Locally**: Make corrections in your feature branch
+3. **Test Locally**: Run the same tools locally or use pre-commit
+4. **Push Fix**: Commit and push the fix
+5. **Wait for CI**: New CI run will start automatically
+
+### Common CI Failure Resolutions
+
+```bash
+# Format code issues
+pre-commit run --all-files
+
+# Type errors (backend)
+cd backend && uv run pyright
+
+# Type errors (frontend)
+cd frontend && yarn type-check
+
+# Test failures (backend)
+cd backend && uv run pytest
+
+# Test failures (frontend)
+cd frontend && yarn test:coverage
+
+# E2E test failures (frontend)
+cd frontend && yarn test:e2e
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+1. **Always use feature branches** - never commit directly to main
+2. **Keep branches small** - easier to review and merge
+3. **Write descriptive commit messages** - helps with project history
+4. **Run tests locally** - catch issues before pushing
+5. **Use pre-commit** - saves time and ensures quality
+
+### Code Quality
+
+1. **Follow existing patterns** - maintain consistency
+2. **Write tests for new features** - maintain coverage thresholds
+3. **Add docstrings** - especially for public APIs
+4. **Type annotations** - required for all Python functions
+5. **Meaningful variable names** - self-documenting code
+
+### Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use Docker efficiently** - leverage layer caching
+2. **Run specific tests** - don't always run full suite during development
+3. **Parallel development** - multiple developers can work simultaneously
+4. **Resource monitoring** - watch Docker memory usage on constrained systems
