+# MySQL-Macports plugin
+
+This plugin adds aliases for some of the commonly used [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/) commands when installed using [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) on macOS.
+
+To use it, add `mysql-macports` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... mysql-macports)
+```
+
+For instructions on how to install MySQL using MacPorts, read the [MacPorts wiki](https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MySQL/).
+
