+About Gimmecert
+===============
+
+Gimmecert is a simple CLI tool for quickly issuing X.509 server and
+client certificates using locally-generated CA hierarchy with minimal
+hassle.
+
+The tool is useful for issuing certificates in:
+
+- Local environment, when trying out a piece of new software that
+  depends on use of certificates.
+- Development environment, when it is necessary to issue certificates
+  either for purpose of integration with other systems, or for ability
+  to develop new feature that involves use of certificates.
+- Testing/CI/CD environment, when it is necessary to deploy/configure
+  tests to use certificates in order to ensure the tests are run
+  properly and in full.
+
+At time of this writing, Gimmecert is compatible with the following
+Python versions:
+
+- *Python 3.4+*
+
+
+Why was this tool created?
+--------------------------
+
+The tool was created to remove the pain of setting-up a CA hierarchy,
+and then using this hierarchy to issue a couple of test certificates.
+
+While there are existing tools that can be used to this end (in
+particular the OpenSSL's CLI and GnuTLS' ``certtool``), the process of
+using them is tedious, slow, and error-prone.
+
+There are some more long-lived solutions out there, in form of
+full-blown CAs, but those can be both an overkill and resource hog
+when all a person needs is a couple of certificates that can be thrown
+away.
+
