 # makeregistry
 
-The goal of makeregistry is to create the JSON that's used to display packages on ropensci.org/packages
+This is an R package used to create the JSON file in https://github.com/ropensci/roregistry that is in turn used to display packages on ropensci.org/packages.
 
-## Installation
-
-``` r
-remotes::install_github("ropensci/codemetar")
-remotes::install_github("ropenscilabs/makeregistry")
-```
-
-## Example
-
-This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem. 
-
-The codemeta creation needs to be run in the server where we have a repos/ folder with all clones. The `old_cm` parameter allows to use older entries for packages for which CodeMeta creation fails for some reason.
-
-``` r
-
-if(!file.exists("raw_cm.json")){
-  old_cm <- "https://github.com/ropensci/roregistry/blob/gh-pages/raw_cm.json?raw=true"
-}else{
-  old_cm <- "raw_cm.json"
-}
-
-codemeta <- makeregistry::create_codemetas(old_cm = old_cm)
-
-jsonlite::write_json(codemeta, path = "raw_cm.json",
-                     pretty = TRUE, auto_unbox = TRUE)
-
-makeregistry::create_registry(cm = "raw_cm.json",
-                              outpat = "registry.json")
-                              
-# find some way to upload raw_cm.json and registry.json to the roregistry repo.
-```
+This package includes one main function, `create_registry()`, which is run in the ["build-registry" workflow in ropensci/registry](https://github.com/ropensci/roregistry/blob/gh-pages/.github/workflows/build-registry.yml).
