+# LLVM Tooling
+
+This repository contains scripts to build static LLVM libraries which can be
+used to develop libclangTooling based tools. See the release page for
+downloadable archives.
+
+## Usage
+
+The uploaded archive contains a `CMakeLists.txt` which allows for quick
+integration of the LLVM tooling libraries in a CMake project. Add the following
+snippet to your `CMakeLists.txt` to download the LLVM libraries and link a
+target against them:
+
+```
+FetchContent_Declare(LLVM URL "https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/llvm-static/releases/download/18.1.5-b1/llvm-static-linux-amd64.tar.xz")
+FetchContent_MakeAvailable(LLVM)
+
+target_link_libraries(<TARGET> PRIVATE clangTooling)
+```
+
+## Create New Release
+
+To create a new release e.g. for a new version of LLVM, update the
+`CMakeLists.txt` and trigger the manual workflow
+["Build LLVM"](https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/llvm-static/actions/workflows/build-llvm.yaml).
