This video shows you how to write a great README for your open source repository. A README serves as an introduction to your code, providing users with important information on installment how to get started. The Explainer outlines what information to include in your README, including how to identify your project, how to help users evaluate it, and how to help users use and engage with it.

This video is part of the Johns Hopkins University Open Source Programs Office (OSPO) Explainer series, a collection of bite-sized videos tackling a variety of open-source essentials.
