+&nbsp;
+[![Docker Image](https://github.com/runpod-workers/worker-template/actions/workflows/CD-docker_dev.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/runpod-workers/worker-template/actions/workflows/CD-docker_dev.yml)
+
+🚀 | A simple worker that can be used as a starting point to build your own custom RunPod Endpoint API worker.
+</div>
+
+## 📖 | Getting Started
+
+1. Clone this repository.
+2. (Optional) Add DockerHub credentials to GitHub Secrets.
+3. Add your code to the `src` directory.
+4. Update the `handler.py` file to load models and process requests.
+5. Add any dependencies to the `requirements.txt` file.
+6. Add any other build time scripts to the`builder` directory, for example, downloading models.
+7. Update the `Dockerfile` to include any additional dependencies.
+
+### CI/CD
+
+This repository is setup to automatically build and push a docker image to the GitHub Container Registry. You will need to add the following to the GitHub Secrets for this repository to enable this functionality:
+
+- `DOCKERHUB_USERNAME` | Your DockerHub username for logging in.
+- `DOCKERHUB_TOKEN` | Your DockerHub token for logging in.
+- `DOCKERHUB_REPO` | The name of the repository you want to push to.
+- `DOCKERHUB_IMG` | The name of the image you want to push to.
+
+The `CD-docker_dev.yml` file will build the image and push it to the `dev` tag, while the `CD-docker_release.yml` file will build the image on releases and tag it with the release version.
+
+The `CI-test_worker.yml` file will test the worker using the input provided by the `--test_input` argument when calling the file containing your handler. Be sure to update this workflow to install any dependencies you need to run your tests.
+
+## 💡 | Best Practices
+
+System dempendency installation, model caching, and other shell tasks should be added to the `builder/setup.sh` this will allow you to easily setup your Dockerfile as well as run CI/CD tasks.
+
+Models should be part of your docker image, this can be accomplished by either copying them into the image or downloading them during the build process.
+
+If using the input validation utility from the runpod python package, create a `schemas` python file where you can define the schemas, then import that file into your `handler.py` file.
