 # Angular QuickStart Source
 [![Build Status][travis-badge]][travis-badge-url]
 
+**This repository is now deprecated. The Angular Quickstart project was a nice starting point for creating Angular applications. Now we recommend using the [Angular CLI](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) to create new Angular projects.**
+
+**Starting from 1 November 2017, all the Angular documentation, at [angular.io](https://angular.io), is based on the Angular CLI.**
+
+**Let's [get started](https://angular.io/guide/quickstart)**
+
+---
+
 This repository holds the TypeScript source code of the [angular.io quickstart](https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html),
 the foundation for most of the documentation samples and potentially a good starting point for your application.
