 Minimal tool to create and publish Git release tags following the vX.Y.Z format.
 
+## Usage
 
-Installation
+**Single project (default):**
+- From the repository root: `./git-release` or `git release`
+- Creates tags in the format `vX.Y.Z`
+
+**Multi-project:**
+- From the repository root: `./git-release <projectname>` or `git release <projectname>`
+- Creates tags in the format `<projectname>-vX.Y.Z`
+- Useful for monorepos with multiple independent release cycles
+
+The script creates an annotated tag and pushes it to the configured remote.
+
+
+## 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
+    Confirm? (y/N): y
+    Enumerating objects: 6, done.
+    Counting objects: 100% (6/6), done.
+    Delta compression using up to 20 threads
+    Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
+    Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 560 bytes | 560.00 KiB/s, done.
+    Total 4 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
+    remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (1/1), completed with 1 local object.
+    To github.com:ObNitram/git-release.git
+    * [new tag]         v0.1.0 -> v0.1.0
+    ✅ Release v0.1.0 created and pushed successfully!
+```
+
+## Installation
 - Make the script executable: `chmod +x git-release`
-- (Optional) Copy to PATH: `cp git-release $HOME/.local/bin/git-release`
+- (Optional) Create a hard link in your PATH : 
+   `ln "$(pwd)/git-release" "$HOME/.local/bin/git-release"`
 
-Usage
-- From the repository root: `./git-release`
-- The script creates an annotated tag and pushes it to the configured remote.
-- If the script is in your PATH, you can run it directly with `git release`
