 ## 🛠️ 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

+6. **Port management**: Let services auto-assign ports to avoid conflicts
+7. **Use MongoDB Compass**: `gitzone services compass` for visual DB management

 ## 🐛 Troubleshooting

 ### Format Command Shows "Cancelled"
+
 If the format command shows cancelled even after confirming:
+
 - Check your `npmextra.json` configuration
 - Try with `--yes` flag to skip confirmation
 - Use `--verbose` for detailed output

 ### Docker Commands Fail
+
 Ensure Docker daemon is running:
+
 ```bash
 docker info
 ```

+### Services Won't Start
+
+Check for port conflicts:
+
+```bash
+# Services auto-assign ports, but you can check the config
+cat .nogit/env.json
+
+# Verify Docker is running
+docker ps
+```
+
 ### Template Creation Issues
+
 Verify npm/pnpm is properly configured:
+
 ```bash
 npm config get registry
 ```

+### MongoDB Connection Issues
+
+- Ensure services are running: `gitzone services status`
+- Check firewall settings for the assigned ports
+- Use `gitzone services compass` for the correct connection string
+
 ## 📈 Performance

 gitzone is optimized for speed:
+
 - **Parallel processing** for format operations
 - **Smart caching** to avoid redundant work
 - **Incremental updates** for meta repositories
 - **Minimal dependencies** for fast installation
+- **Isolated services** prevent resource conflicts
+- **Auto port assignment** eliminates manual configuration
