+It's Magit!  An Emacs mode for Git.
+===================================
+
+Magit is an interface to Git for Emacs, supporting GNU Emacs 22 or
+later.
+
+ Unlike Emacs's native [version control support][vc], Magit can take
+advantage of Git's native features without breaking compatibility with
+other systems.
+
+To get started see the [Magit User Manual][manual] or perhaps the
+[cheatsheet][cheatsheet] if you're in a hurry. There's also an
+excellent [Magit screencast][screencast] by Alex Vollmer which
+demonstrates some of the major features.
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+Download the latest tarball from [the github download page][download],
+then Magit can be installed with the popular recipe of:
+
+    $ make && sudo make install
+
+This requires `emacs` and `makeinfo` binaries, so please make sure the relevant
+packages (generally `emacs` and `texinfo`) are installed on your system.
+This will put magit.el into `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp`, where
+Emacs should be able to find it.  Then add
+
+    (require 'magit)
+
+to your `.emacs` file.
+
+Magit also now supports extensions:
+
+### git-svn
+
+`(require 'magit-svn)` - integrates with git-svn. Hit 'N' to see your
+options.
+
+### git-topgit
+
+`(require 'magit-topgit)` - integrates with topgit.
+
+### git-stgit
+
+`(require 'magit-stgit)` - integrates with StGit.
+
+Getting started
+---------------
+
+To get started with Magit, open any file in a Git repository in Emacs
+and run `M-x magit-status`.  Read the short help for magit-mode (`C-h
+m` in the Magit buffer), make some changes to your files, and try to
+commit them.
+
+Learning more
+-------------
+
+The [Magit User Manual][manual] describes things with more words than
+the online help.  You can read it in Emacs with `C-u C-h i
+magit.info`, or [on the web][manual].
+
+If you have any questions, please use [the mailing list][google group]
+at Google Groups.
+
+Magit's website is currently hosted [on GitHub][website].
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+Magit was started by Marius Vollmer. It is now collectively maintained by the
+Magit Owners Team: https://github.com/organizations/magit/teams/53130
+
+For a full list of contributors have a look at `magit.el` in the
+source distribution.
+
+Magit's canonical source repository is currently
+[hosted on GitHub][development].
