This is the README generated by softcover new <document>. It's not used by the Softcover website, but it's a good practice to have a README when storing your document's source at, e.g., GitHub or Bitbucket. (The latter is especially recommended for documents whose source isn't public, as Bitbucket allows unlimited free private repositories.)
Softcover documents come with a .gitignore file for use with Git. To get started, add your files as follows:
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "Initialize repository"
Then follow the instructions at GitHub or Bitbucket to create and push a remote repository.
