+## sbt project compiled with Scala 3
+
+### Usage
+
+This is a normal sbt project. You can compile code with `sbt compile`, run it with `sbt run`, and `sbt console` will start a Scala 3 REPL.
+
+For more information on the sbt-dotty plugin, see the
+[scala3-example-project](https://github.com/scala/scala3-example-project/blob/main/README.md).
