+# {{.project_name}}
+
+The '{{.project_name}}' project was generated by using the default-sql template.
+
+## Getting started
+
+1. Install the Databricks CLI from https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/cli/install.html
+
+2. Authenticate to your Databricks workspace (if you have not done so already):
+    ```
+    $ databricks configure
+    ```
+
+3. To deploy a development copy of this project, type:
+    ```
+    $ databricks bundle deploy --target dev
+    ```
+    (Note that "dev" is the default target, so the `--target` parameter
+    is optional here.)
+
+    This deploys everything that's defined for this project.
+    For example, the default template would deploy a job called
+    `[dev yourname] {{.project_name}}_job` to your workspace.
+    You can find that job by opening your workpace and clicking on **Workflows**.
+
+4. Similarly, to deploy a production copy, type:
+   ```
+   $ databricks bundle deploy --target prod
+   ```
+
+5. To run a job, use the "run" command:
+   ```
+   $ databricks bundle run
+   ```
+
+6. Optionally, install developer tools such as the Databricks extension for Visual Studio Code from
+   https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/vscode-ext.html.
+
+7. For documentation on the Databricks Asset Bundles format used
+   for this project, and for CI/CD configuration, see
+   https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/bundles/index.html.
