+# Qlty CLI
+
+Qlty CLI is a multi-language code linter, auto-formatter, and security scanner.
+
+Engineering teams use Qlty CLI for static analysis and auto-formatting of all of their code using a single tool with fast, consistent results.
+
+As a Git-aware tool, Qlty CLI makes adopting linting into the development workflow easy by limiting results to only _new_ issues.
+
+Qlty CLI is implemented in Rust, supported by [Qlty Software](https://qlty.sh), free to use, and is published under a [Fair Source](https://fair.io/) license.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🐞 Linting (for every programming language)
+- 🖌️ Auto-formatting
+- 🚨 Security scanning (IaC, SAST, SCA, and more)
+- 📊 Complexity metrics and duplication
+- 💩 Maintainability smells
+
+## Installation
+
+Qlty CLI is available for MacOS, Linux, and Windows.
+
+```bash
+# Install on MacOS or Linux:
+curl https://qlty.sh | bash
+
+# Install on Windows:
+powershell -c "iwr https://qlty.sh | iex"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Setup Qlty within a Git repository:
+cd my_repo/
+qlty init
+
+# View a sample of lint issues:
+qlty check --sample=5
+
+# Auto-format the codebase
+qlty fmt --all
+
+# Scan for code smells like duplication:
+qlty smells --all
+
+# Review a summary of code quality metrics
+qlty metrics --all --max-depth=2 --sort complexity --limit 10
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Qlty CLI is configured using a `.qlty/qlty.toml` file in your Git repository. You can generate a default configuration with `qlty init` and then customize it.
+
+Read our documentation about [configuration](https://docs.qlty.sh/analysis-configuration) for more information.
+
+## Development
+
+Develpoing on Qlty CLI requires a working Rust toolchain.
+
+```bash
+cargo build
+cargo test
+```
