+# Go executables for gitlab-shell
+
+This directory contains Go executables for use in gitlab-shell. To add
+a new command `foobar` create a subdirectory `cmd/foobar` and put your
+code in `package main` under `cmd/foobar`. This will automatically get
+compiled into `bin/foobar` by `../bin/compile`.
