+tagit - the BSFS browser
+========================
+
+tagit is a graphical interface to browse through a BSFS storage. It is designed
+with image collections in mind, therefore provides a means to quickly navigate a
+collection by user-assigned tags, and to easily edit images' tags.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install tagit via pip:
+
+    $ pip install --extra-index-url https://pip.bsfs.io tagit
+
+
+## Development
+
+Set up a virtual environment:
+
+    $ virtualenv env
+    $ source env/bin/activate
+
+Install tagit as editable from the git repository:
+
+    $ git clone https://git.bsfs.io/tagit.git
+    $ cd tagit
+    $ pip install -e .
+
+If you want to develop (*dev*), run the tests (*test*), edit the
+documentation (*doc*), or build a distributable (*build*),
+install bsfs with the respective extras (in addition to file format extras):
+
+    $ pip install -e .[dev,doc,build,test]
+
+Or, you can manually install the following packages besides tagit:
+
+    $ pip install coverage mypy pylint
+    $ pip install sphinx sphinx-copybutton sphinxcontrib-video furo
+    $ pip install build
+    $ pip install pyexiv2
+
+To ensure code style discipline, run the following commands:
+
+    $ coverage run ; coverage html ; xdg-open .htmlcov/index.html
+    $ pylint tagit
+    $ mypy
+
+To build the package, do:
+
+    $ python -m build
+
+To run only the tests (without coverage), run the following command from the **test folder**:
+
+    $ python -m unittest
+
+To build the documentation, run the following commands from the **doc folder**:
+
+    $ make html
+    $ xdg-open build/html/index.html
+
+
