-## About
+<p align="center">
+  <strong>portzap</strong>
+</p>
 
-portzap is a simple bourne shell script that takes care of keeping up to
-date with the [HardenedBSD](https://hardenedbsd.org) ports collection.
+portzap is a utility for staying up to date with the
+[HardenedBSD ports tree](https://hardenedbsd.org).
+The utility stores a transient copy of the ports tree in `/home/_portzap/ports/`.
+The transient copy can be created, and updated by an unprivileged user account
+who is a member of the `_portzap` group. The transient copy can then be installed
+into the `/usr/ports` directory by root.
 
-The
-[HardenedBSD ports collection](https://git.hardenedbsd.org/hardenedbsd/ports.git)
-is maintained as a git repository, and portzap allows the repository to be cloned
-(and updated) using a regular user account. The unpacking of the repository to
-`/usr/ports` is also supported but must be performed by root.
