+- Smart port assignment (20000-30000 range) to avoid conflicts between projects
+- Project-specific container names for complete isolation
+- Data persistence in `.nogit/` directories
+- MongoDB Compass connection string generation with network IP detection
+- Auto-configuration via `.nogit/env.json` with secure defaults
+- Commands: start, stop, restart, status, config, compass, logs, remove, clean

 ## 🛠️ Core Features
 
+### 🐳 Development Services Management (NEW!)
+
+Effortlessly manage local MongoDB and MinIO (S3-compatible) services for your development environment:
+
+```bash
+gitzone services [command]
+```
+
+**Available commands:**
+
+- **`start [service]`** - Start services (mongo|s3|all)
+- **`stop [service]`** - Stop services (mongo|s3|all)
+- **`restart [service]`** - Restart services
+- **`status`** - Show current service status
+- **`config`** - Display configuration details
+- **`compass`** - Get MongoDB Compass connection string with network IP
+- **`logs [service] [lines]`** - View service logs
+- **`remove`** - Remove containers (preserves data)
+- **`clean`** - Remove containers AND data (⚠️ destructive)
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- 🎲 **Smart port assignment** - Automatically assigns random ports (20000-30000) to avoid conflicts
+- 📦 **Project isolation** - Each project gets its own containers with unique names
+- 💾 **Data persistence** - Data stored in `.nogit/` directories survives container restarts
+- 🔗 **MongoDB Compass support** - Instantly get connection strings for GUI access
+- 🌐 **Network IP detection** - Automatically detects your local network IP for remote connections
+- ⚙️ **Auto-configuration** - Creates `.nogit/env.json` with smart defaults
+
+**Example workflow:**
+
+```bash
+# Start all services for your project
+gitzone services start
+
+# Check what's running
+gitzone services status
+
+# Get MongoDB Compass connection string
+gitzone services compass
+# Output: mongodb://defaultadmin:defaultpass@192.168.1.100:27018/myproject?authSource=admin
+
+# View MongoDB logs
+gitzone services logs mongo 50
+
+# Stop services when done
+gitzone services stop
+```
+
+The services are configured via `.nogit/env.json` which is automatically created with secure defaults and random ports for each project.
