+# repo
+
+Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories,
+does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the
+development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it
+easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script
+that you can put anywhere in your path.
