 ## Git Master Branch
 
 The master branch will always be called `master`. This is final.
+
+## Versioning
+
+Most Art projects are implemented in C++ and use the build2 build-system. See
+https://build2.org/build2/doc/build2-build-system-manual.xhtml#module-version
+for information about versioning.
+
+## Feature Branches
+
+Feature branches are prefixed with `feature/`.
+
+## Release Branches
+
+Release branches are prefixed with `release/v`.
+
+## Release Tags
+
+Release tags are prefixed with `v`.
+
+# C++ Guidelines
+
+## Namespaces
+
+Namespaces shall be named using PascalCase, for example `namespace Art::Seafire`.
+
+## Classes
+
+Classes shall be named according to the Stroustrup PPP-style. For example
+`class Temperature_reading`.
+
+## Functions
+
+Functions, both member functions and free functions, shall be named using snake
+case. For example: `void register_user()`.
+
+## Enumerations
+
+Enumerations shall be named like classes. Members of an enumeration shall
+be named using PascalCase, with a lower-case `k`-prefix. For example:
+
+```c++
+enum class Enumeration
+{
+  kEnum1,
+  kEnum2
+
+};
+```
+
+## Include Guards
+
+Include guards shall consist of the complete path of the header file, relative
+to the project root. With `__` used as a directory separator.
+
+For example, for `art/seafire/version.hxx`, the include guard should be:
+`#ifndef art__seafire__version_hxx_`.
