+## Getting the Latest Dev Version
+
+The `dev` branch has all the new cool stuff that needs testing before we merge it to `master`. Here's how you grab it:
+
+### Setting Up Dev Branch
+
+#### First-timers:
+
+1. Clone it:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE.git
+   cd HyDE
+   ```
+
+2. Switch to dev:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout dev
+   ```
+
+#### Already have the repo?
+
+1. Make sure main is current:
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master
+   git pull
+   ```
+
+2. Get the dev goodies:
+   ```bash
+   git fetch origin dev
+   git checkout dev
+   git pull origin dev
+   ```
+
+### Running Dev Version
+
+Just follow the README.md or use the install script:
+
+1. Full install:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./install.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Just restore dotfiles:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./install.sh -r
+   ```
+
+3. Other cool stuff you can do:
+   ```bash
+   Usage: ./install.sh [options]
+            i : [i]nstall hyprland without configs
+            d : install hyprland [d]efaults without configs --noconfirm
+            r : [r]estore config files
+            s : enable system [s]ervices
+            n : ignore/[n]o [n]vidia actions
+            h : re-evaluate S[h]ell
+            m : no the[m]e reinstallations
+            t : [t]est run without executing (-irst to dry run all)
+   ```
+
+## What to Test
+
+Look out for:
+
+1. **New Features**: Break 'em if you can
+2. **UI Elements**: Do they look right? Work right?
+3. **Theme Switching**: Dark/light mode working?
+4. **Wallpapers**: Can you add/remove/switch?
+5. **System Features**: Notifs, settings working?
+6. **Stability**: Any crashes or freezes?
+7. **Different Systems**: Test on whatever hardware you've got
+
+## Testing Goals
+
+### Focus On
+
+- **Isolated Issues**: Pinpoint exactly where stuff breaks
+- **Regression**: Make sure we didn't break old fixes
+- **UX**: Tell us if something feels clunky
+- **Performance**: Spot any lag or resource hogs
+
+### For Our Trusted Testers

+As a trusted tester, you're extra special:
+
+- You get quick answers when you report stuff
+- Your ideas go to the top of the pile
+- Just say what you think - no filter needed
+- Help us shape features before everyone else sees them
+
+We'll get back to you fast so we can fix things quicker!
+
+## How to Report Issues

+Found something weird? Here's what to do:

+Report directly on the dev-to-master PR:
+
+- Go here: https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDE/compare/master...automated-dev-to-master-branch
+
+### Discord
+
+In the HyDE Discord:
+
+- Drop a message in #testers channel
+- Real issues should go on GitHub, but we can chat about them in Discord
+
+### Making Good Bug Reports
+
+Just follow the [issue templates](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE)
+
+## Release Schedule
+
+Check the [release policy](./RELEASE_POLICY.md)
+
+## Community Stuff
