 The aim is to create a tool which allows timetracking from command line, syncs between devices, probably with a nice 
 web interface later on (fuck you Mite! ;)
+
+## Setup 
+
+You need to have `go` installed on your system.
+
+```
+go get git.soundship.de/gcrkrause/gott
+cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/git.soundship.de/gcrkrause/gott
+go build 
+go install
+```
+
+No the binary lives in `$GOPATH/bin`. Make sure, this is in your `$PATH`.
+
+## Usage
+
+The basic idea is to tell gott when you start and stop a task. In both cases you can specify tags which get added. So you can decide what fits better to your workflow.
+
+For example if you start coding now, type `gott start coding`. When you stop you know what you did and can give some additional info: `gott stop "implement xyz"`. Please note: When a tag should contain a whitespace, which is totally fine, put the string in double quotes.
+
+To view your records, simply use `gott list`.
