+# multi-project-single-version example
+
+This is a simple example on how a multi project could look like and how the gradle-release plugin is configured.
+In this example we use one version for all the projects.
+
+## Usage
+
+Fork the repository and checkout locally.
+
+Then you can test executing the release by
+
+```
+$ cd multi-project-single-version
+$ ./gradlew release
+```
+
+On windows you would do
+
+```
+$ cd multi-project-single-version
+$ gradlew.bat release
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+If you have an idea which feature of the gradle-release plugin we could show here,
+you are welcome to submit a pull request.
