+##Bindata
+
+This rule uses [go-bindata](https://github.com/kevinburke/go-bindata) to package arbitrary go files.
+Please refer to the documentation there on how to use the packaged data.
+
+Generally this rule is very similar to the `bindata` rule in the default go bazel package.
+However this rule also creates an embeddable go library right away.
+
+###How to use
+
+Add the files you want to package to the `srcs` attribute, set the `package` attribute to the 
+go package you want the result to be in and embed the rule into a `go_library`.
+
+####Example: Packaging sql migrations
+
+These rules package all `.sql` files into the target and make it accessible at `importpath` in the package `models`. 
+```
+
+go_library(
+    name = "go_default_library",
+    embed = [
+        ":migrations_pack",
+    ],
+    importpath = "git.monogon.dev/source/nexantic.git/golibs/minijob/generated/sql",
+    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
+)
+
+bindata(
+    name = "migrations_pack",
+    package = "models",
+    srcs = glob(["*.sql"]),
+)
+
+```
