Summary of the project. This is the first thing you read when you view this project. This is a great place to summarize the goals or intentions of this project. Generally speaking, this section is optional, but is a nice way to get a snapshot of what this project is about.

Also include information on the maturity of the project, like when it was launched, what its current production environment is like, and who it is maintained by.

Features

What are all the bells and whistles that are significant or unique to this project?

• What's the main functionality
• What new thing does this project provide?
• What unique feature does this project include?

Overview

Describe the architecture in which this project fits, and point to any other repos that make up the full stack of software. Describe how each piece fits together.

Requirements

List any and all requirements, included hardware, server software, and third-party libraries.

Installing

A quick introduction of the minimal setup you need to get a hello world up and running.

# Comment your code
packagemanager install aic-project

# Descibe in brief what each step does
aic-project start

# Or why this step is required
aic-project some-setup-function-if-necessary

Here you should say more thoroughly what actually happens when you execute the code above.

Developing

Here is a brief intro about what a developer must do in order to start developing the project further:

git clone https://github.com/your/aic-project.git
cd aic-project/
packagemanager install

And state what happens step-by-step.

If a developer needs to copy a sample configuration file to get their local instance going, provide the most minimum effort needed here. More details on configuration can be included in a later section on Configuration.

Building

If your project needs some additional steps for the developer to build the project after some code changes, state them here:

./configure
make
make install

Here again you should state what actually happens when the code above gets executed.

Deploying / Publishing

In case there's some step you have to take that publishes this project to a server, here is where to state it.

packagemanager deploy aic-project -s server.com -u username -p password

And again you'd need to tell what the previous code actually does.

Configuration

Here you should write what are all of the configurations a user can enter when using the project, and which file each config is set if applicable.

Configuration file path

Configuration 1 Name

Type: String Default: 'default value'

State what it does and how you can use it. If needed, you can provide an example below.

Example:

aic-project "Some other value"  # Prints "Hello World"

Configuration 2 Name

Type: Number|Boolean Default: 100

Copy-paste as many of these as you need.
