+# wf-import
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/writeas/wf-import?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/writeas/wf-import)
+
+wf-import provides helper functions and a command-line utility for migrating posts between [WriteFreely](https://writefreely.org) instances.
+
+## Command-line
+
+Install the command-line utility with:
+
+```
+go get github.com/writeas/wf-import/cmd/wfimport
+```
+
+`wfimport` takes a username `-u`, optional WriteFreely instance hostname `-h`, and the filename of the JSON data you want to import.
+
+By default, `wfimport` publishes posts to Write.as:
+
+```
+wfimport -u username exported-data.json
+```
+
+But you can also supply another WriteFreely instance to import to:
+
+```
+wfimport -u username -h pencil.writefree.ly exported-data.json
+```
