 ## Install
 
-```sh
+```bash
 npm install @apiclient.xyz/gitlab
 ```
 
 ## Usage
 
+All examples below use ESM imports and async/await.
+
+### Creating a Client
+
 ```typescript
 import { GitLabClient } from '@apiclient.xyz/gitlab';
 
-const client = new GitLabClient('https://gitlab.com', 'your-private-token');
+const client = new GitLabClient('https://gitlab.example.com', 'your-private-token');
+```
 
-// Test connection
+The constructor accepts the base URL of your GitLab instance and a personal access token (or project/group token) used for authentication via the `PRIVATE-TOKEN` header.
+
+### Testing the Connection
+
+```typescript
 const result = await client.testConnection();
 
-// List projects
+if (result.ok) {
+  console.log('Connected successfully.');
+} else {
+  console.error('Connection failed:', result.error);
+}
+```
+
+### Listing Projects
+
+Retrieve projects you are a member of, ordered by most recently updated.
+
+```typescript
+// First page, default 50 per page
 const projects = await client.getProjects();
 
-// Manage CI/CD variables
-await client.createProjectVariable(123, 'SECRET_KEY', 'secret-value');
+// Search with pagination
+const filtered = await client.getProjects({
+  search: 'my-service',
+  page: 1,
+  perPage: 20,
+});
+
+for (const project of filtered) {
+  console.log(`${project.id} - ${project.path_with_namespace}`);
+}
+```
+
+### Listing Groups
+
+```typescript
+const groups = await client.getGroups();
+
+// Search groups by name
+const matchingGroups = await client.getGroups({ search: 'platform' });
+
+for (const group of matchingGroups) {
+  console.log(`${group.id} - ${group.full_path}`);
+}
+```
+
+### Managing Project Variables
+
+```typescript
+const projectId = 42;
+
+// List all variables
+const vars = await client.getProjectVariables(projectId);
+
+// Create a variable
+await client.createProjectVariable(projectId, 'DATABASE_URL', 'postgres://...', {
+  protected: true,
+  masked: true,
+  environment_scope: 'production',
+});
+
+// Update a variable
+await client.updateProjectVariable(projectId, 'DATABASE_URL', 'postgres://new-host/...', {
+  protected: true,
+});
+
+// Delete a variable
+await client.deleteProjectVariable(projectId, 'DATABASE_URL');
+```
+
+### Managing Group Variables
+
+The group variable API mirrors the project variable API.
+
+```typescript
+const groupId = 7;
+
+// List all variables
+const groupVars = await client.getGroupVariables(groupId);
+
+// Create a variable
+await client.createGroupVariable(groupId, 'NPM_TOKEN', 'tok-xxx', {
+  protected: false,
+  masked: true,
+  environment_scope: '*',
+});
+
+// Update a variable
+await client.updateGroupVariable(groupId, 'NPM_TOKEN', 'tok-yyy', {
+  masked: true,
+});
+
+// Delete a variable
+await client.deleteGroupVariable(groupId, 'NPM_TOKEN');
+```
+
+### Working with Pipelines
+
+```typescript
+const projectId = 42;
+
+// List recent pipelines
+const pipelines = await client.getPipelines(projectId, { page: 1, perPage: 10 });
+
+for (const pipeline of pipelines) {
+  console.log(`Pipeline #${pipeline.id} [${pipeline.status}] on ${pipeline.ref}`);
+}
+
+// Get jobs for a specific pipeline
+const jobs = await client.getPipelineJobs(projectId, pipelines[0].id);
+for (const job of jobs) {
+  console.log(`  Job "${job.name}" (${job.stage}): ${job.status}`);
+}
+
+// Read the raw log output of a job
+const log = await client.getJobLog(projectId, jobs[0].id);
+console.log(log);
+
+// Retry a failed pipeline
+await client.retryPipeline(projectId, pipelines[0].id);
+
+// Cancel a running pipeline
+await client.cancelPipeline(projectId, pipelines[0].id);
+```
