+General Contribution / Workflow
+===============================
+
+If changes or adaptions to an instrument driver are implemented, it would be
+favourable to do this work on a [new branch](https://git.rwth-aachen.de/LabberI2A/Drivers/branches/new)!
+If the work is sufficient to share, generate a merge request ([How-To](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-merge-request.html)).
+
+Merge Request
+=============
+
+When submitting a merge request, do the following things:
+
+* [] - Update your branch (when checked out) by merging the current master:
+        ```git checkout <my_branch>; git merge origin/master```
+        
+* [] - Add a new [merge-request](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-merge-request.html)
+
+* [] - Make sure the description contains a short overview of changes, as well as a list devices you tested your changes with.
