Heavily inspired by this README template, this is a more minimal README template that only uses markdown. This template is minimal and general-purpose enough that it should be relevant to most projects. If there are any suggestions or modifications, feel free to contribute, fork this repository, or use this as inspiration for your own READMEs!
This section should list any major dependencies or libraries used in your project. See below for an example of what a full-stack application's major dependencies might look like.
Here is where you should list any instructions on what others need to do in order to set up this project. For example:
To get a local copy up and running, follow these steps.
This section is to show what is required to use the software and how to install them or a link to installation. For example:
- Python 3.11 or greater
- uv
- DuckDB
curl https://install.duckdb.org | shHere should be where the instructions on how to install the software lies. For example:
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/username/repo_name- Provide your environment variables in a
.envfile
KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"- Run the installation file
uv run install.pyThis section is where you should tell the user how the project can be used. Feel free to add screenshots, code examples, or demos. If your repository has any documentation hosted or included, link that here as well. For example:
To create a new foo, Instantiate a Foo class and pass in your foo values:
foo: Foo = Foo("bar")You can also create a foo from a fizz value:
foo: Foo = Foo.from_fizz("fizz")For more code examples, please refer to the Documentation
You should include any additional notes regarding usage, deployment, installation, etc. here. For example:
If you want to point to a remote database instead of a local DuckDB database,
set a DB_PATH environment variable:
DB_PATH="PATH_TO_DATABASE"Doing this is not yet officially supported. Databases like MSSQL and MySQL might not work as expected.
This section should be a simple list of major feature plans. You can also link to some dedicated document or resource for features. For example:
- Add support for controllers
- Spanish translation
- Major weapon rebalance
See the open issues for a full list of proposed features. See also our Kanban board for our officially accepted feature list.
