-*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`), but only if this does not
-result in more escaping. It will remove escape sequences as necessary as
-part of moving to the other type of quote. This applies to all kinds of
-prefixed strings, including *raw-strings* (`r""`), *byte literals* (`b""`),
-and *formatted strings* (`f""`). The approach above strikes a good balance
-between consistency and legibility.
+*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
+and `'''`).  It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
+does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
+
+The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
+Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
+It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
+string literals that ended up on the same line (see
+[#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details).
+
+Why settle on double quotes?  They anticipate apostrophes in English
+text.  They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257.  An
+empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with
+a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used.
+On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
+Python interacts a lot with.
+
+On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is
+a bit easier than double quotes.  The latter requires use of the Shift
+key.  My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
+and let *Black* handle the transformation.
+
+### Line Breaks & Binary Operators
+
+*Black* will break a line before a binary operator when splitting a block
+of code over multiple lines. This is so that *Black* is compliant with the
+recent changes in the [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#should-a-line-break-before-or-after-a-binary-operator)
+style guide, which emphasizes that this approach improves readability.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``W503 line break before binary operator`` warnings in
+style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
+you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Slices
+
+PEP 8 [recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
+to treat ``:`` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to
+leave an equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted
+(e.g. ``ham[1 + 1 :]``). It also states that for extended slices, both ``:``
+operators have to have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is
+omitted (``ham[1 + 1 ::]``). *Black* enforces these rules consistently.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``E203 whitespace before ':'`` warnings in style guide
+enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``E203`` is not PEP 8 compliant, you should
+tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Parentheses
+
+Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar.  Any expression can
+be wrapped in a pair of parentheses to form an atom.  There are a few
+interesting cases:
+
+- `if (...):`
+- `while (...):`
+- `for (...) in (...):`
+- `assert (...), (...)`
+- `from X import (...)`
+
+In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
+in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to
+further split on.  Otherwise, the parentheses are always added.

+## Version control integration
+
+Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you [have it
+installed](https://pre-commit.com/#install), add this to the
+`.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository:
+```yaml
+repos:
+-   repo: https://github.com/ambv/black
+    rev: stable
+    hooks:
+    - id: black
+      args: [--line-length=88, --safe]
+      python_version: python3.6
+```
+Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.
+
+`args` in the above config is optional but shows you how you can change
+the line length if you really need to.  If you're already using Python
+3.7, switch the `python_version` accordingly. Finally, `stable` is a tag
+that is pinned to the latest release on PyPI.  If you'd rather run on
+master, this is also an option.
+
+
+## Ignoring non-modified files
+
+*Black* remembers files it already formatted, unless the `--diff` flag is used or
+code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact
+location of the file depends on the black version and the system on which black
+is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems
+is:
+
+* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.pickle`
+* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
+* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
