+===============
+
+|CircleCI| |Version| |GPLv3|

+has completed.
+
+* Usage_
+* Requirements_
+* Installation_
+* Contributing_
+* `Running Tests`_
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+You dont need to do anything. Once it's installed,
+``zsh-auto-notify`` will let you know if a long running task has completed its work via a
+notification in your desktop environment.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+``auto-notify`` officially supports zsh versions 5.1 onwards.
+
+It is possible the plugin might work on even older versions.
+However they would not have been tested as part of the CI test process.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Add one of the following to your ``.zshrc`` file depending on your
+package manager:
+
+ZPlug_
+
+::
+
+    zplug "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"
+
+Antigen_
+
+::
+
+    antigen bundle "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"
+
+Zgen_
+
+::
+
+    zgen load "MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify"
+
+oh-my-zsh_
+
+Copy this repository to ``$ZSH_CUSTOM/custom/plugins``, where ``$ZSH_CUSTOM``
+is the directory with custom plugins of oh-my-zsh `(read more) <https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Customization/>`_:
+::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/auto-notify
+
+
+Then add this line to your ``.zshrc``. Make sure it is **before** the line ``source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh``.
+
+::
+
+    plugins=(auto-notify $plugins)
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+Pull requests and Feedback are welcome! :tada:
+
+I have tried to cater for as many use cases that I can think of.
+However, they are naturally tailored to to my own workflow and I could
+be missing many others.
+
+Because of this if there is a specific use case that does not work as
+you would expect or if you have any suggestions to how the plugin should
+behave, feel free to `open an
+issue <https://github.com/MichaelAquilina/zsh-auto-notify/issues/new>`__
+
+Running Tests
+-------------
+
+Install `zunit <https://zunit.xyz/>`__. Run ``zunit`` in the root
+directory of the repo.
+
+::
+
+    $ zunit
+    Launching ZUnit
+    ZUnit: 0.8.2
+    ZSH:   zsh 5.3.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu)
+
+    ✔ ysu message correct output
+    ✔ ysu global message correct output
+    ✔ ysu git message correct output
+
+NOTE: It is required that you use a minimum zunit version of 0.8.2
+
+NOTE: The tests that run move your git configuration to a temporary
+location during the test process so that your user configuration does
+not interfere with tests. This will be restored at the end of each test
+so there is no risk in losing your settings. If for some strange reason
+zunit crashes or does not restore your git configuration automatically,
+all you need to do is run ``mv ~/.gitconfig.bak ~/.gitconfig``
