+# Simple example
+
+This demonstrates the basic functionality of the git-puller image.
+
+
+## How to get this working
+
+First, build the image. Therefore, see section Building in the projects root README.md.
+
+Second, our git-puller needs some git repository to keep up-to-date. So just clone any git repository into the to-pull folder and see what happens when you run it.
+
+How to run it? Just use `docker compose up -d` in this folder!
