-An sbt plugin to create a dependency lockfile
+An sbt plugin to create a dependency lockfile similar to `package-lock.json` for npm or `Gemfile.lock` for RubyGems.
 
-## Usage
+## Quickstart
 
-This plugin requires sbt 1.0.0+
\ No newline at end of file
+Install the plugin by adding the following to `project/plugins.sbt`:
+
+```scala
+addSbtPlugin("software.purpledragon" % "sbt-dependency-lock" % "<version>")
+```
+
+And then generate a lock file with `sbt dependencyLockWrite`. This will resolve dependencies and output a lockfile
+containing all dependencies (including transitive ones) to `build.sbt.lock`.
+
+The lockfile can then be checked with `sbt dependencyLockCheck`:
+
+```text
+[info] Dependency lock check passed
+```
+
+A mismatch between the lockfile and current dependencies will generate an error report:
+
+```text
+[error] (dependencyLockCheck) Dependency lock check failed:
+[error]   3 dependencies changed:
+[error]     org.scala-lang.modules:scala-xml_2.12:[1.2.0]->[1.1.0] (test)
+[error]     org.scalactic:scalactic_2.12:[3.0.8]->[3.0.7] (test)
+[error]     org.scalatest:scalatest_2.12:[3.0.8]->[3.0.7] (test)
+```
+
+See the [docs](https://stringbean.github.io/sbt-dependency-lock) for further information on how the plugin works.

+# Getting Started
+
+## Setup
+
+Install the plugin by adding the following to `project/plugins.sbt`:
+
+@@@vars
+```scala
+addSbtPlugin("software.purpledragon" % "sbt-dependency-lock" % "$project.version$")
+```
+@@@
+
+And then generate a lock file with `sbt dependencyLockWrite`. This will resolve dependencies and output a lockfile
+containing all dependencies (including transitive ones) to `build.sbt.lock`.
+
+@@@ note
+The generated `build.sbt.lock` file should be checked into source control with the rest of the project source code.
+@@@
+
+## Checking for Dependency Changes
+
+The status of the lockfile can be checked using the `dependencyLockCheck` which will resolve the current dependencies
+and check them against the lockfile.
+
+### Valid Lockfile
+
+If the lockfile and current dependencies match then a success message will be printed, and the build will succeed:
+
+```text
+[info] Dependency lock check passed
+```
+
+### Missing Lockfile
+
+If no lockfile can be found then an error will be printed, and the build will fail:
+
+```text
+[error] (dependencyLockCheck) no lock file
+```
+
+### Lockfile Mismatch
+
+A mismatch between the lockfile and current dependencies will generate an error report summarising the differences:
+
+```text
+[error] (dependencyLockCheck) Dependency lock check failed:
+[error]   3 dependencies changed:
+[error]     org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.9 (test)->(compile,test)

+[error]     org.scalatest:scalatest_2.12:[3.0.8]->[3.0.7] (test)
+```
+
+The error report is broken down into a number of sections:
+
+1. Configurations added:
+    ```text
+    1 config added: it
+    ```
+2. Configurations removed:
+    ```text
+    2 configs removed: it,war
+    ```
+3. Dependencies added:
+    ```text
+    2 dependencies added:
+      com.example:artifact1:1.0 (compile)

+    ```
+4. Dependencies removed:
+    ```text
+    1 dependency removed:
+      com.example:artifact3:3.1.1 (runtime)
+    ```
+5. Changed dependencies:
+    ```text
+    3 dependencies changed:
+      org.example:version:[1.0]->[2.0] (compile)

+# sbt-dependency-lock
+
+Generate dependency lockfiles for sbt projects similar to `package-lock.json` or `Gemfile.lock`.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Managing dependencies on a large project can be a difficult problem especially when requested dependencies pull in large
+numbers of transitive dependencies. This can lead to scenarios where incrementing the version of a single dependency can
+cause a snowball effect of dozens of updated transitive dependencies.
+
+This plugin generates a lockfile based on the current project dependencies that can be checked into source control and
+can be checked to see what dependencies have changed.
