+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Checkout this library into $IP/vendor using `git clone <URL>` or add the
+repository as a git submodule using `git submodule add <URL> vendor` followed
+by `git submodule update --init`.
+
+
+Adding or updating libraries

+1. Edit the composer.json file
+2. Run `composer update` to download files and update the autoloader files.
+3. Add and commit changes as a gerrit patch.
