+# repolith
+
+> Make a set of independent git repos feel like one monorepo — without touching git internals, GitHub, or CI.
+
+**Status: early / under active development (v0.0.x).** The name is reserved and the core is being built task-by-task. APIs and commands will change until v0.1.
+
+## What it is
+
+`repolith` composes several independent git repositories into one workspace. Git stays git, GitHub stays GitHub, CI stays CI — `repolith` adds a thin layer on top:
+
+- **`repolith.toml`** — a TOML manifest declaring which repos belong together and where they live.
+- **`repolith.lock.json`** — a lockfile pinning each repo's commit SHA plus a single **atomic workspace hash**: one content-ID for the entire multi-repo state. Like `package-lock.json`, but for a set of repos.
+- **A parallel CLI** — `sync`, `status`, `grep`, `log`, `diff`, `exec`, `init` dispatched across every repo at once.
+- **A VS Code extension** — repos appear as sidebar folders with cross-repo search.
+- **An MCP server** (planned) — so AI coding agents and CI can reconstruct an exact multi-repo state deterministically.
+
+> The thesis: **git pins a repo; `repolith` pins a *system*.**
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm i -g repolith
+# or
+bun add -g repolith
+```
+
+## Quick start (target shape — not all commands shipped yet)
+
+```bash
+repolith init                # interactively create repolith.toml
+repolith sync                # clone/checkout every repo, write the lockfile
+repolith status              # branch + dirty/clean + ahead/behind, per repo
+repolith grep "TODO"         # search across all repos at once
+repolith exec "npm test"     # run a command in every repo
+```
+
+### Example `repolith.toml`
+
+```toml
+[workspace]
+name = "my-workspace"
+
+[[repos]]
+name = "frontend"
+url  = "https://github.com/org/frontend.git"
+path = "packages/frontend"
+ref  = "main"
+
+[[repos]]
+name = "backend"
+url  = "https://github.com/org/backend.git"
+path = "packages/backend"
+ref  = "main"
+```
