README.md are those files that are typically at the root of a Git repositories — especially on Open Source project.

When you make your code available to others, the main difficulty is that it might not be immediately clear how to use it. This is where the README.md file can be of great assistance.

The Readme serves as a guide that explains the purpose of your project, provides instructions for installation, offers guidance on how to use it, and includes information on how to contribute to the project. 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
