+* commit-check Installation Guide
+
+** For manual use
+
+ To get this project up and running make sure you have perl
+ installed and that commit-check is somewhere in your ~PATH~.
+
+** As git hook
+
+ Place the commit-check executable file in the ~.git/hooks~ directory
+ of your project, with the name ~commit-msg~. It doesn't need to be
+ the actual executable, it can also be a (soft) link to the
+ executable, or a script running this program (passing along all
+ arguments).

+* commit-check v0.1.0
+
+ This is the commit-check project. It is a quick and easy commit
+ style checker that can be used either as a git hook to enforce the
+ style checked by commit-check, or as a syntax checker back-end (like
+ [[http://flycheck.readthedocs.org/en/latest/][Flycheck]]).
+
+ The file [[file:INSTALL.org]] contains instructions on how to install
+ commit-check on your system.
+
+ The entire code for the project is currently contained in the
+ [[file:commit-check]] file. The files [[file:test-pass.txt]],
+ [[file:test-fail-barely.txt]] and [[file:test-fail-miserably.txt]] are used
+ for testing purposes. They contain and explain certain situations
+ that can occur when writing commits that may or may not cause errors
+ to be reported.
+
+ This project is licensed under the GNU GPLv3, its terms and
+ conditions can be found in [[file:COPYING]].
