+Gogs - Go Git Service [![wercker status](https://app.wercker.com/status/ad0bdb0bc450ac6f09bc56b9640a50aa/s/ "wercker status")](https://app.wercker.com/project/bykey/ad0bdb0bc450ac6f09bc56b9640a50aa) [![Build Status](https://drone.io/github.com/gogits/gogs/status.png)](https://drone.io/github.com/gogits/gogs/latest)
+=====================
+
+Gogs(Go Git Service) is a Self Hosted Git Service in the Go Programming Language.
+
+![Demo](http://gowalker.org/public/gogs_demo.gif)
+
+##### Current version: 0.2.3 Alpha
+
+#### Due to testing purpose, data of [try.gogits.org](http://try.gogits.org) has been reset in April 6, 2014 and will reset multiple times after. Please do NOT put your important data on the site.
+
+#### Other language version

+- [简体中文](README_ZH.md)
+
+## Purpose
+
+Since we choose to use pure Go implementation of Git manipulation, Gogs certainly supports **ALL platforms** that Go supports, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows with **ZERO** dependency.
+
+More importantly, Gogs only needs one binary to setup your own project hosting on the fly!
