+# Go migrations
+
+A very simple migration library for your Go projects.
+
+    import "github.com/felix/go-migrate"
+or
+    import "userspace.com.au/go-migrate"
+
+## Features
+
+- Any database/sql drivers should work. See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SQLDrivers
+
+- Each migration is run in a transaction so there should be no 'dirty' state.
+
+- Only migrates "up". I have never used a "down" migration.
+
+- Enables a callback function to suit whatever logging implementation you choose.
+
+## Usage
+
+	db, err := sql.Open("pgx", uri)
+	//db, err := sql.Open("sqlite3", uri)
+	if err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+	defer db.Close()
+
+    // Relative path to migration files
+	migrator, err := migrate.NewFileMigrator(db, "file://migrations/")
+	if err != nil {
+		return fmt.Errorf("failed to create migrator: %s", err)
+	}
+
+    // Migrate all the way
+	err = migrator.Migrate()
+	if err != nil {
+		return fmt.Errorf("failed to migrate: %s", err)
+	}
+
+	v, err := migrator.Version()
+	fmt.Printf("database at version %d\n", v)
+
