The Ultimate Readme

The Ultimate Readme for your GitHub projects!

So you have finished your project and the code is top notch. But nobody seems interested?

What you need is some window dressing!

You can add a README file to a repository to communicate important information about your project. A README, along with a repository license, citation file, contribution guidelines, and a code of conduct, communicates expectations for your project and helps you manage contributions.

Give your project the best chance possible by forking this repo right now!

README files typically include information on:

• What the project does
• Why the project is useful
• How users can get started with the project
• Where users can get help with your project
• Who maintains and contributes to the project
