 ### Is everything related to IPFS in the Go ecosystem in this repo?
 
-No.  Not everything related to IPFS is intended to be in Boxo. View it as a starter toolbox (potentially among multiple).  If you’d like to build an IPFS implementation with Go, here are some tools you might want that are maintained by a group that has long term commitments to the IPFS project.  There are certainly repos that others maintainer that aren't included here (e.g., ipfs/go-car) which are still useful to IPFS implementations. It's expected and fine for new IPFS functionality to be developed that won't be part of Boxo.

+## Migrating to Boxo
+Many Go modules under github.com/ipfs have moved here. Boxo provides a tool to ease this migration, which does most of the work for you:
+
+* `cd` into the root directory of your module (where the `go.mod` file is)
+* Run: `go run github.com/ipfs/boxo/cmd/boxo-migrate@latest update-imports`
+  * This will upgrade your module to Boxo v0.8.0 and rewrite your import paths
+* Run: `go run github.com/ipfs/boxo/cmd/boxo-migrate@latest check-dependencies`
+  * This will print unmaintained dependencies you still have
+  * These aren't necessarily an immediate problem, but you should eventually get them out of your dependency graph
+  
+This tool only upgrades your module to Boxo v0.8.0, to minimize backwards-incompatible changes. Depending on the versions of IPFS modules before the upgrade, your code may require additional changes to build.
+
+We recommend upgrading to v0.8.0 first, and _then_ upgrading to the latest Boxo release.
+
+If you encounter any challenges, please [open an issue](https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/new/choose) and Boxo maintainers will help you.

 ## Should I add my IPFS component to Boxo?
 We happily accept external contributions! However, Boxo maintains a high quality bar, so code accepted into Boxo must meet some minimum maintenance criteria:
