+About:
+======
+
+``deltacode`` is a simple command line utility that leverages the power
+of `scancode-toolkit <https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit>`_ to determine file-level differences between two
+codebases.
+
+How to use:
+===========
+
+In order to calculate these differences (i.e. 'deltas'), the user must have two individual
+scancode scan files, with the ``--info`` scan option at minimum.
+
+For example::
+
+    $ pip install scancode-toolkit
+    $ scancode --info ~/postgresql-9.6/ ~/psql-9.6-fileinfo.json
+    $ scancode --info ~/postgresql-10.0/ ~/psql-10.0-fileinfo.json
+
+
+
+Once you have the two codebase scans, simply install/configure
+deltacode, and run it on the two scans::
+
+    (deltacode) $ deltacode --help
+    Usage: deltacode [OPTIONS]
+
+      Identify the changes that need to be made to the 'old' scan file (-o or
+      --old) in order to generate the 'new' scan file (-n or --new).  Write the
+      results to a .csv file (-c or --csv-file) or a .json file (-j or --json-
+      file) at a user-designated location.  If no file option is selected, print
+      the JSON results to the console.
+
+    Options:
+      -h, --help                Show this message and exit.
+      -n, --new PATH            Identify the path to the "new" scan file
+                                [required]
+      -o, --old PATH            Identify the path to the "old" scan file
+                                [required]
+      -c, --csv-file PATH       Identify the path to the .csv output file
+      -j, --json-file FILENAME  Identify the path to the .json output file
+      -a, --all-delta-types     Include unmodified files as well as all changed
+                                files in the .json or .csv output.  If not
+                                selected, only changed files are included.
+
+    (deltacode) $ deltacode -n ~/psql-10.0-fileinfo.json -o ~/psql-9.6-fileinfo.json -j ~/psql-10.0-psql-9.6-delta.json

+
+Notes:
+======
+
+- ``deltacode`` also collects statistical information, like # of files and other percentages. Currently, this output is not present in the ``csv`` output
+
+Future TODOs/additions:
+=======================
+
+- Use ``copyright`` information from scans to identify changes in copyright holders or dates for attribution.
+- Detect package or file changes that are only a version change for the same package or file.
+- Determine whether some added/removed files or packages are actually cases where the files or packages were moved.
