+Instructions to run CMake:
+
+cmake `relative-path-to-CMakeLists.txt` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+Eg.
+From the root of git source tree
+	`cmake contrib/buildsystems/ `
+This will build the git binaries at the root
+
+For out of source builds, say build in 'git/git-build/'
+	`mkdir git-build;cd git-build; cmake ../contrib/buildsystems/`
+This will build the git binaries in git-build directory
+
+Possible build configurations(-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) with corresponding
+compiler flags
+Debug : -g
+Release: -O3
+RelWithDebInfo : -O2 -g
+MinSizeRel : -Os
+empty(default) :
+
+NOTE: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is optional. For multi-config generators like Visual Studio
+this option is ignored
+
+This process generates a Makefile(Linux/*BSD/MacOS) , Visual Studio solution(Windows) by default.
+Run `make` to build Git on Linux/*BSD/MacOS.
+Open git.sln on Windows and build Git.
+
+NOTE: By default CMake uses Makefile as the build tool on Linux and Visual Studio in Windows,
+to use another tool say `ninja` add this to the command line when configuring.
