+
+# Syntax for the author file
+The syntax for the author file can be found at the top of the template file included in the repo. It should look like this:
+```
+name_short|Name|Username|emai
+```
+
+# Why?
+Writing co-authors onto commits can be pretty tedious so automating this process as a simple shell alias is a lot nicer
+
+# Workflows
+This repo is sort of a test bed for working with Dagger CI but therefore also should support automated testing and building at some point 
+*coming soon*
