A README is a text file (often named README.md) that introduces and explains a project. Common in software development, READMEs typically include a project description, installation instructions, usage examples, and contribution guidelines.
The README is usually the first thing a developer reads, so it should answer "what is this, why does it exist, and how do I use it?" as quickly as possible. README files are frequently written in Markdown.
