+# Introduction
+
+Have you ever wondered, if you want to compile a C++ program, why you always
+need to learn another language to make it build properly with dependency
+tracking and so on.
+
+Many good build-systems exists which all have their strengths and weeknesses
+autotools, cmake, meson to name a few.
+
+`cppbuild` tries to make it possible to use all the cool features of the above
+in a tool only using C++ (through the compiler).
+
+## Getting Started: 3 Simple Steps
+
+Step 1: Create a build configuration, in C++
+
+A really simple example ('hello_config.cc'):
+```c++
+#include "libcppbuild.h"
+
+namespace
+{
+BuildConfigurations helloConfigs()
+{
+	return
+	{
+		{
+			.target = "hello",
+			.sources = {
+				"hello.cc",
+			},
+			.cxxflags = {
+				"-Wall",
+				"-std=c++17",
+			}
+		},
+	};
+}
+
+REG(helloConfigs);
+}
+```
+
+Step 2: Bootstrap the system by compiling your build configuration along with
+the libcppbuild.a static library:
+```sh
+g++ -std=c++17 hello_config.cc -pthread libcppbuild.a -o cppbuild
+```
+
+Step 3: Run cppbuild to build you application:
+
+```sh
+./cppbuild
+```
+
+Any consecutive changes to the build configuration or any of the sources will
+automagically trigger a rebuild of all (and only) affected sources the next time
+cppbuild is executed.
