-# OpenID Connect Authentication Helper
+# OIDC Provider Authentication/Authorization Login (OPAAL)
 
-This is a small, simple, experimental helper tool that automates the authorization code flow for logging in with an identity provider like GitHub or GitLab. This tool acts as an OAuth app, contains client secrets, and should not be exposed to users! 
+This is a small, simple, experimental OIDC login helper tool that automates the authorization code flow defined by [RFC 6749](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-4.1) for social sign-in with identity providers like Google, Facebook, or GitHub. This tool is made to work when your issuer/identity provider is separate from your authorization server. 
+
+Note: This tool acts as an OAuth client, contains client secrets, and should not be exposed to users!
+
+## Build and Usage
+
+Clone the repository and build:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/davidallendj/opal.git
+cd opal/
+go mod tidy && go build
+```
 
 To use this tool, you will have to register an OAuth2 application with you identity provider. Make sure you register the application first before proceeding, then set the callback URL to `{your host}/oauth/callback`.
