+## Developing for Soong
+
+To load Soong code in a Go-aware IDE, create a directory outside your android tree and then:
+```bash
+apt install bindfs
+export GOPATH=<path to the directory you created>
+build/soong/scripts/setup_go_workspace_for_soong.sh
+```
+
+This will bind mount the Soong source directories into the directory in the layout expected by
+the IDE.
