-# ESPHome PR Workflow
-
-When creating a pull request for esphome, follow these steps:
-
-## 1. Create Branch from Upstream
-
-Always base your branch on **upstream** (not origin/fork) to ensure you have the latest code:
-
-```bash
-git fetch upstream
-git checkout -b <branch-name> upstream/dev
-```
-
-## 2. Read the PR Template
-
-Before creating a PR, read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` to understand required fields.
-
-## 3. Create the PR
-
-Use `gh pr create` with the **full template** filled in. Never skip or abbreviate sections.
-
-Required fields:
-- **What does this implement/fix?**: Brief description of changes
-- **Types of changes**: Check ONE appropriate box (Bugfix, New feature, Breaking change, etc.)
-- **Related issue**: Use `fixes <link>` syntax if applicable
-- **Pull request in esphome-docs**: Link if docs are needed
-- **Test Environment**: Check platforms you tested on
-- **Example config.yaml**: Include working example YAML
-- **Checklist**: Verify code is tested and tests added
-

-## Example entry for `config.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-# Example config.yaml
-component_name:
-  id: my_component
-  option: value
-```
-
-## Checklist:
-  - [x] The code change is tested and works locally.
