 # git-cache
-simple git cache management script
+A simple script to cache git repositories and packages locally. If git-cache
+has not been initialized, it will fall back to do checkouts from the remote
+repository. Otherwise it will transparently cache repositories in it's cache
+folder, ideally not touching the network if a requested commit / tag can be
+cloned from the cache.
+
+## Use Case
+This is particularly useful when many copies of a git repository are needed,
+such as when running a CI that requires a clean directory to build with.
+
+## Example Setup
+
+Either add the `git-cache` binary to the `PATH` or directly execute it.
+
+Initialize the git repository (by default it creates a `${HOME}/.gitcache`).
+```
+git-cache init
+```
+
+Use git-cache to clone the repository as needed.
+```
+git-cache clone https://github.com/MaxMusterman/ExampleRepo HEAD test1
+git-cache clone https://github.com/MaxMusterman/ExampleRepo HEAD test2
+```
+
+_The first clone may take a while since it needs to fetch the repo and add it
+to the cache. The second clone should be able to fetch the repo from the
+cache._
