+An example project that showcases how to enable the lint set from
+`package:flutter_lints`, which contains recommended lints for Flutter apps,
+packages, and plugins.
+
+The `flutter_lints` packages is listed as a dev_dependency in the `pubspec.yaml`
+file.
+
+The lint set provided by the package is activated in the `analysis_options.yaml`
+file. The lints enforced for this project can be further customized in that
+file.
+
+The Dart code in this project (e.g. `lib/main.dart`) is analyzed using the
+lint configuration provided by `package:flutter_lints`.
+
+The issues identified by the analyzer are surfaced in IDEs with Dart support or
+by invoking `flutter analyze` from the command line.
