Writing READMEs README

Udacity's course Writing READMEs explains the importance of documenting your work. Here, you can find some supplemental resources for writing good READMEs.

Resources

Sample READMEs

  • Udacity Feedback Chrome Extension - A front-end grading engine built by Cameron Pittman, a content developer at Udacity. The documentation is thorough and complete, so anybody can use it!
  • factory_bot - An open source project maintained by thoughtbot. Great example of simple instructions to get you set up, which then links to external documentation.
  • can.viewify - Awesome example of someone documenting her personal projects concisely.
  • create-your-own-adventure - This README for Udacity's Git and Github course.
