+## gguf
+
+This is a Python package for writing binary files in the [GGUF](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/pull/302)
+(GGML Universal File) format.
+
+See [convert_hf_to_gguf.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/convert_hf_to_gguf.py)
+as an example for its usage.
+
+## Installation
+```sh
+pip install gguf
+```
+
+Optionally, you can install gguf with the extra 'gui' to enable the visual GGUF editor.
+```sh
+pip install gguf[gui]
+```
+
+## API Examples/Simple Tools
+
+[examples/writer.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/examples/writer.py) — Generates `example.gguf` in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.
+
+[examples/reader.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/examples/reader.py) — Extracts and displays key-value pairs and tensor details from a GGUF file in a readable format.
+
+[gguf/scripts/gguf_dump.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/gguf/scripts/gguf_dump.py) — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.
+
+[gguf/scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/gguf/scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py) — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.
+
+[gguf/scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/gguf/scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py) — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.
+
+[gguf/scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/gguf/scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py) — Copies a GGUF file with added/modified/removed metadata values.
+
+[gguf/scripts/gguf_editor_gui.py](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/gguf-py/gguf/scripts/gguf_editor_gui.py) — Allows for viewing, editing, adding, or removing metadata values within a GGUF file as well as viewing its tensors with a Qt interface.
+
+## Development
+Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:
+
+```sh
+cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py
+
+pip install --editable .
+```
+
+**Note**: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires `setup.py`.
+In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:
+
+```sh
+pip install --upgrade pip
+```
+
+## Automatic publishing with CI
+
+There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.
+
+1. Bump the version in `pyproject.toml`.
+2. Create a tag named `gguf-vx.x.x` where `x.x.x` is the semantic version number.
+
+```sh
+git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
+```
+
+3. Push the tags.
+
+```sh
+git push origin --tags
+```
+
+## Manual publishing
+If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have `twine` and `build` installed:
+
+```sh
+pip install build twine
+```
+
+Then, follow these steps to release a new version:
+
+1. Bump the version in `pyproject.toml`.
+2. Build the package:
+
+```sh
+python -m build
+```
+
+3. Upload the generated distribution archives:
+
+```sh
+python -m twine upload dist/*
+```
+
+## Run Unit Tests
+
+From root of this repository you can run this command to run all the unit tests
+
+```bash
+python -m unittest discover ./gguf-py -v
+```
+
+## TODO
+- [ ] Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
