+
+## Installation
+
+```shell
+go get github.com/joho/godotenv
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Add your application configuration to your `.env` file in the root of your project:
+
+```shell
+S3_BUCKET=YOURS3BUCKET
+SECRET_KEY=YOURSECRETKEYGOESHERE
+```
+
+Then in your Go app you can do something like
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/joho/godotenv"
+    "os"
+)
+
+err := godotenv.Load()
+if err != nil {
+  os.Fatal("Error loading .env file")
+}
+
+s3Bucket := os.Getenv("S3_BUCKET")
+secretKey := os.Getenv("SECRET_KEY")
+```
+
+While `.env` in the project root is the default, you don't have to be constrained
+
+```go
+_ := godotenv.Load("somerandomfile")
+_ := godotenv.Load("filenumberone.env", "filenumbertwo.env")
+```
+
+Are all valid options
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are most welcome! The parser itself is pretty stupidly naive and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks with edge cases.
+
+*code changes without tests will not be accepted*
+
+1. Fork it
+2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)

+## Who?
+
+The original library [dotenv](https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv) was written by [Brandon Keepers](http://opensoul.org/), and this port was done by [John Barton](http://whoisjohnbarton.com) based off the tests/fixtures in the original library.
