+[`sigstore-go`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go) is the Go language client for Sigstore.
+
+[Cosign](../../cosign/signing/overview.md) is a command line utility that is used to sign software artifacts and verify signatures using Sigstore and is also written in Go. `sigstore-go` is a lighter weight tool and boasts the following benefits:
+
+- Friendly API for integrating Go code with Sigstore
+- Smaller dependency tree
+- Focuses on newly specified data structures in [sigstore/protobuf-specs](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs)
+- Perfect for simple signing and verififcation tasks
+
+`sigstore-go` is currently in beta. 
+
+## Features
+
+- Signing and verification of [Sigstore bundles](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_bundle.proto)
+- Verification of raw Sigstore signatures
+- Signing and verifying with a Timestamp Authority (TSA)
+- Online and offline signing and verifying with Rekor (Artifact Transparency Log)
+- Structured verification results including certificate metadata
+- TUF support
+- Verification support for custom [trusted root](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_trustroot.proto)
+- Basic CLI
+
+## Installation
+
+### Main CLI installation
+
+`sigstore-go` requires Go 1.21 or greater. The package is tested with Go 1.23. 
+
+To compile/install the CLI, clone [`sigstore-go`](https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go) and run.   
+
+```console
+make install
+```
+Alternatively, you can use `go run cmd/sigstore-go/main.go` to access the CLI, as show in the [example](#cli-example). 
+
+## Example
+
+### CLI example
+
+The following is an example of using the sigstore-go CLI to verify a signature. 
+
+```console
+go run cmd/sigstore-go/main.go \
+  -artifact-digest 76176ffa33808b54602c7c35de5c6e9a4deb96066dba6533f50ac234f4f1f4c6b3527515dc17c06fbe2860030f410eee69ea20079bd3a2c6f3dcf3b329b10751 \

+  -expectedSAN https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-js/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/heads/main \
+  examples/bundle-provenance.json
+Verification successful!
