 Minimal tool to create and publish Git release tags following the vX.Y.Z format.
 
+```bash
+# Quick install
+mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/bin
+wget -qO ${HOME}/.local/bin/git-release https://github.com/ObNitram/git-release/releases/latest/download/git-release
+chmod +x ${HOME}/.local/bin/git-release
+```
 
-Installation
+## Usage
-- Make the script executable: `chmod +x git-release`
-- (Optional) Copy to PATH: `cp git-release $HOME/.local/bin/git-release`
 
-Usage
+- From the repository root: `git release`
-- From the repository root: `./git-release`
+- Select release type: patch, minor, major, or cancel
-- The script creates an annotated tag and pushes it to the configured remote.
+- Confirm the new version
-- If the script is in your PATH, you can run it directly with `git release`
+- The script creates and pushes the new tag
 
-Dependencies
+### Multi-project support
+
+For repositories with multiple projects (monorepos), you can specify the project name as an argument:
+`git release <projectname>` will create a tag with the following format `<projectname>-vX.Y.Z`
+
+## Example
+```
+$ git release 
+    📦 Current version: v0.0.0
+    Select release type:
+    1) patch
+    2) minor
+    3) major
+    4) cancel
+    #? 2
+    🚀 Creating new release: v0.1.0

+    Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 560 bytes | 560.00 KiB/s, done.

+    To github.com:ObNitram/git-release.git
+    * [new tag]         v0.1.0 -> v0.1.0
+    ✅ Release v0.1.0 created and pushed successfully!
+```
+
+## Installation
+It's a single script file:
+- Download the `git-release` script from the repository.
+- Make it executable: `chmod +x git-release`
+- Place it in your PATH
+
+It relies on the fact that if git does not find a command, it will look for a script named `git-<command>` in your PATH.
+So you can now run `git release` from any git repository.
+
+
+You can use the following commands to install it:
+```bash
+mkdir -p ${HOME}/.local/bin
+wget -qO ${HOME}/.local/bin/git-release https://github.com/ObNitram/git-release/releases/latest/download/git-release
+chmod +x ${HOME}/.local/bin/git-release
+```
