+# Compiler Design Starter Code
+
+This repository contains starter code for the Compiler Design course 2025.
+The code can be found in the `java` and `haskell` branches.
+
+There are several options how you can access the code:
+
+## Forking (recommended)
+
+This is a template repository.
+That means you will find a fancy "Use this template" button on the top right.
+By creating a new repository from that, you are almost ready to go.
+You will receive further instructions once you got that part right and the GitHub Action
+had time to run.
+
+## Downloading a ZIP File
+
+You can also directly download a ZIP file containing the starter code.
+As you might notice, the starter code isn't on this branch.
+That means you have to select either the `java` or the `haskell` branch.
+Then, you can use the integrated `Download ZIP` button.
+
+## Cloning and Pushing
+
+You can obviously also just clone this repository and push its content to wherever you want.
+If you plan to do that, you likely know what you're doing.
