+
+This plugin provides a start screen for Vim and Neovim.
+
+It provides **dynamically created headers or footers** and uses configurable
+lists to show **recently used or bookmarked files** and **persistent sessions**.
+All of this can be accessed in a **simple to use menu** that allows to open
+single or multiple entries.
+
+Startify doesn't get in your way and works out-of-the-box, but provides many
+options for fine-grained customization.

+## Installation and Documentation
+
+Use your favorite plugin manager.
+
+Using [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
+
+    Plug 'mhinz/vim-startify'
+
+It works without any configuration, but you might want to look into the
+documentation for further customization:
+
+    :h startify
+    :h startify-faq
