+# The Graph CLI
+
+This package installs the CLI for developing subgraphs for [The Graph
+Network](https://thegraph.com/subgraphs/) It supports all aspects of
+[developing, testing, and deploying subgraphs](https://thegraph.com/docs/en/subgraphs/quick-start/) locally and
+on the network.
+
+This package is a complete replacement for the older
+[graph-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@graphprotocol/graph-cli) which
+will over time be migrated to be a simple wrapper for `gnd`. Older
+documentation will reference `graph-cli` in its instructions; running
+`alias graph=gnd` in the shell make it possible to follow these
+instructions verbatim with `gnd`.
+
+Besides the tools to develop subgraphs, `gnd` also contains a version of
+[graph-node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) tailored to
+running subgraphs locally via `gnd dev`.
+
+
+## Getting started
+
+Run `npm install -g @graphprotocol/gnd` to install `gnd`.
+
+After installation, you can create and run an example subgraph locally with
+```bash
+gnd init --from-example ethereum-gravatar 'My new subgraph' new-subgraph
+cd new-subgraph
+gnd codegen
+gnd build
+gnd dev --ethereum-rpc 'mainnet:<RPC URL>'
+```
+
+If you have an existing contract for which you want to write a subgraph,
+have a look at `gnd help init` and the `--from-contract` option. You can
+also simply run `gnd init` and follow the prompts to set up your subgraph.
