+# NodeGit Development Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This is [@readme/nodegit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@readme/nodegit), a fork of the original NodeGit library that provides Node.js bindings to libgit2. This fork is maintained by Readme and includes compatibility updates for Node.js 20 and 22.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Node.js >= 20 (supports Node 20 and 22)
+- Git installed on your system
+- Build tools (automatically handled during install)
+
+### Installation
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+The install process automatically:
+1. Runs preinstall scripts
+2. Builds native bindings using node-gyp
+3. Runs postinstall scripts
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Full Test Suite
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+This runs linting followed by the complete test suite.
+
+### Tests Only (Skip Linting)
+```bash
+npm run mocha
+```
+
+### Debug Tests
+```bash
+npm run mochaDebug
+```
+Runs tests with inspector for debugging.
+
+### Run Specific Tests
+```bash
+# Run tests matching a pattern
+npm run mocha -- --grep "pattern"
+
+# Example: Run only commit tests  
+npm run mocha -- --grep "commit"
+
+# Example: Run a specific test
+npm run mocha -- --grep "can amend commit"
+```
+
+### Linting Only
+```bash
+npm run lint
+```
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Building
+```bash
+# Full rebuild (includes code generation)
+npm run rebuild
+
+# Debug build
+npm run rebuildDebug
+
+# Recompile only (skip code generation)
+npm run recompile
+```
+
+### Code Generation
+```bash
+# Generate missing tests
+npm run generateMissingTests
+
+# Generate native code bindings
+npm run generateNativeCode
+
+# Generate JSON API definitions
+npm run generateJson
+```
+
+## Test Structure
+
+Tests are located in:
+- `test/tests/` - Main test files
+- `test/utils/` - Test utilities
+- `test/repos/` - Test repositories
+
+### Common Test Issues
+
+**macOS Version Compatibility**: Tests may fail when upgrading macOS versions due to differences in Git behavior, file system precision, or system libraries. Hardcoded expected commit IDs are particularly sensitive to environment changes.
+
+**Memory Management**: Tests use `--expose-gc` flag to test garbage collection behavior with native bindings.
+
+**SSH Tests**: Some tests require SSH keys located in `test/id_rsa*` files.
+
+## CI/CD
+
+GitHub Actions workflows:
+- **tests.yml**: Runs tests on Ubuntu 22.04 and macOS-26
+- **publish.yml**: Handles package publishing
+
+## Architecture
+
+This library provides JavaScript bindings to the libgit2 C library:
+- `src/` - C++ binding code
+- `lib/` - Generated JavaScript APIs  
+- `generate/` - Code generation scripts
+- `include/` - C++ headers
+- `vendor/` - Vendored dependencies (libgit2)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Issues
+```bash
+# Clean rebuild
+rm -rf build node_modules
+npm install
+```
+
+### Test Failures
+- Check that Git is properly configured:
+  ```bash
+  git config --global user.name "Test User"
+  git config --global user.email "test@example.com"
+  ```
+- Ensure SSH agent is running for SSH tests
+
+### Platform-Specific Issues
+- **Linux**: May require libssl-dev, libkrb5-dev, and pcre development packages
+- **macOS**: Uses clang compiler, may require Xcode command line tools
+- **Windows**: Requires Visual Studio build tools
+
+## Contributing
+
+1. Run tests locally: `npm test`
+2. Ensure linting passes: `npm run lint`  
+3. Test on target Node versions (20, 22)
+4. Update tests if adding new functionality
+
