+# cfx-server-data
+_The data repository for Cfx.re servers_
+
+## Usage
+1. Make sure to `git clone`. Don't "Download ZIP", as that'll make it _much_ harder to update to newer versions.
+2. Put custom resources in `resources/[local]/` if you don't want to be affected by any random messups.
+
+### Advanced usage
+You can also consider using the repository as a submodule + symlink for your own Git repository:
+
+**Linux**:
+```
+$ git submodule add https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git vendor/server-data
+$ ln -s vendor/server-data/resources/ 'resources/[base]/'
+```
+
+**Windows**:
+```
+> git submodule add https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git vendor/server-data
+> mklink /d resources\[base] vendor\server-data\resources
+```
+
+## Policy
+You can make pull requests to propose changes that benefit _everyone_. Add new useful resources, change/improve
+existing ones - anything goes, as long as you make sure to:
+
+1. Not break existing users/APIs.
+2. Not change default behavior without a toggle.
+3. Use best practices (convars over config files, native commands wherever possible, etc.)
+
+Modifying or rewriting existing resources in this repository for local use only is _strongly_ discouraged.
