Package Readme

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. The README content associated with a package, typically covering purpose, installation, usage, and contribution basics. In open-source culture, the package README is often the first and sometimes only documentation many users will read.

    In plain English: The README documentation that explains a package.

    Example: "The package README doubled downloads after it finally explained a realistic quick-start path instead of opening with abstract architecture philosophy."
