-## Usage
-
-We recommend the use of TypeScript for best in class intellisense
-
-```javascript
-// import smartgit:
-import { GitRepo } from 'smartgit';
-
-// Initialize smartgit:
-// -- note: there are 3 ways to initialize smartgit
-// -- -- 1. with a existing Git repo
-// -- -- 2. with a cloned Git repo
-// -- -- 3. with a new Git repo
-
-// -- 1. existing Git Repo:
-let myExistingGitRepo = new GitRepo('/path/to/existing/git/repo/');
-
-// -- 2. cloned Git Repo:
-let myClonedGitRepo: GitRepo;
-smartgit.createRepoFromClone('git@github.com:username/reponame.git').then(gitRepo => {
-  // non blocking
-  myClonedGitRepo = gitRepo;
-});
-
-// -- 3. new Git Repo
-let myNewGitRepo: GitRepo;
-smartgit
-  .createRepoFromInit('/path/to/new/folder') // smartgit will create any new folder, be careful
-  .then(gitRepo => {
-    // non blocking
-    myNewGitRepo = gitRepo;
-  });
-
-// Using smartgit instance
-// -- most used actions
-// -- all actions return promises, so make sure to use promise chaining for any dependent tasks
-myExistingGitRepo.addAll(); // returns promise, stages all changed files
-myExistingGitRepo.add(['relative/path/to/file.txt', 'another/file2.txt']); // returns promise, stages specific files
-myExistingGitRepo.commit('my commit message'); // returns promise, commits staged files
-myExistingGitRepo
-  .status() // returns promise
-  .then(status => {
-    // Use TypeScript for status type information
-  });
-myExistingGitRepo.check(); // returns promise, checks repo health
-myExistingGitRepo.remoteAdd('git@github.com:username/reponame.git');
-```

+
+> 🚀 **Modern Git operations for Node.js** - A powerful TypeScript wrapper around isomorphic-git that makes repository management and analysis a breeze
+
+[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/@push.rocks%2Fsmartgit.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/@push.rocks%2Fsmartgit)
+[![TypeScript](https://badgen.net/badge/built%20with/TypeScript/blue)](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
+
+## ✨ What is SmartGit?
+
+SmartGit is a sophisticated, promise-based Git toolkit designed for Node.js applications. Built on top of `isomorphic-git`, it provides a clean, intuitive API for repository management, diff analysis, and commit history exploration. Perfect for automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, and any application that needs to interact with Git repositories programmatically.
+
+## 🎯 Key Features
+
+- **🔧 Repository Management** - Create, clone, and open repositories with ease
+- **🌐 Remote Operations** - Manage remotes and push changes effortlessly  
+- **📊 Diff Analysis** - Get detailed diffs of uncommitted changes
+- **📚 Commit History** - Extract commit messages with metadata and version tracking
+- **⚡ Async/Await** - Modern promise-based API throughout
+- **🛡️ TypeScript First** - Full type safety and IntelliSense support
+- **🎯 Production Ready** - Battle-tested and actively maintained
+
+## 📦 Installation
+
+```bash
+# Using pnpm (recommended)
+pnpm install @push.rocks/smartgit
+
+# Using npm
+npm install @push.rocks/smartgit
+
+# Using yarn
+yarn add @push.rocks/smartgit
+```
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartgit } from '@push.rocks/smartgit';
+
+// Initialize SmartGit
+const smartgit = new Smartgit();
+await smartgit.init();
+
+// Clone a repository
+const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone(
+  'https://github.com/username/repo.git',
+  './local-repo'
+);
+
+console.log('🎉 Repository cloned successfully!');
+```
+
+## 📖 Usage Guide
+
+### 🏗️ Repository Operations
+
+#### Creating a New Repository
+
+```typescript
+const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByInit('./my-new-repo');
+```
+
+#### Cloning from Remote
+
+```typescript
+const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone(
+  'https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World.git',
+  './hello-world'
+);
+```
+
+#### Opening Existing Repository
+
+```typescript
+const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./existing-repo');
+```
+
+### 🌐 Working with Remotes
+
+#### List All Remotes
+
+```typescript
+const remotes = await repo.listRemotes();
+console.log(remotes);
+// Output: [{ remote: 'origin', url: 'https://github.com/...' }]
+```
+
+#### Ensure Remote Exists
+
+```typescript
+await repo.ensureRemote('origin', 'https://github.com/username/repo.git');
+```
+
+#### Get Remote URL
+
+```typescript
+const originUrl = await repo.getUrlForRemote('origin');
+console.log(`📡 Origin URL: ${originUrl}`);
+```
+
+#### Push to Remote
+
+```typescript
+await repo.pushBranchToRemote('main', 'origin');
+console.log('✅ Changes pushed successfully!');
+```
+
+### 📊 Diff Analysis
+
+Get a detailed diff of uncommitted changes (perfect for code review automation):
+
+```typescript
+const diffs = await repo.getUncommittedDiff(['node_modules/*', '*.log']);
+
+diffs.forEach(diff => {
+  console.log('📝 File changes:');
+  console.log(diff);
+});
+```
+
+### 📚 Commit History Analysis
+
+Extract commit history with package.json version tracking:
+
+```typescript
+const history = await repo.getAllCommitMessages();
+
+history.forEach(commit => {
+  console.log(`🕐 ${commit.date} | v${commit.version} | ${commit.message}`);
+});
+
+// Example output:
+// 🕐 2024-01-15 | v1.2.3 | feat: add new authentication method
+// 🕐 2024-01-14 | v1.2.2 | fix: resolve memory leak in parser
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Advanced Usage
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone(invalidUrl, './test');
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('❌ Clone failed:', error.message);
+}
+```
+
+### Working with Multiple Repositories
+
+```typescript
+const smartgit = new Smartgit();
+await smartgit.init();
+
+const repositories = [
+  await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo1'),
+  await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo2'),
+  await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo3')
+];
+
+// Analyze all repositories
+for (const repo of repositories) {
+  const remotes = await repo.listRemotes();
+  console.log(`📂 Repository has ${remotes.length} remotes`);
+}
+```
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+SmartGit is built with a clean, modular architecture:
+
+- **`Smartgit`** - Main entry point and repository factory
+- **`GitRepo`** - Individual repository operations and analysis
+- **`isomorphic-git`** - Underlying Git implementation
+- **Environment Detection** - Automatic Node.js environment setup
+
+## 🎯 Use Cases
+
+- **🤖 Automation Scripts** - Automate repository management and analysis
+- **🔄 CI/CD Pipelines** - Repository operations in build processes  
+- **📊 Code Analysis Tools** - Extract commit data and diff analysis
+- **🛠️ Developer Tools** - Build Git-powered development utilities
+- **📱 Release Management** - Track versions and generate changelogs
+
+## 🔧 Requirements
+
+- **Node.js** 16+ (Browser support not available)
+- **Git repository** access (for clone operations)
+- **TypeScript** 4+ (recommended)
+
+## 🤝 API Reference
+
+### Smartgit Class
+
+| Method | Description | Returns |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `init()` | Initialize the SmartGit instance | `Promise<void>` |
+| `createRepoByInit(dir)` | Create new repository | `Promise<GitRepo>` |
+| `createRepoByClone(url, dir)` | Clone repository | `Promise<GitRepo>` |
+| `createRepoByOpen(dir)` | Open existing repository | `Promise<GitRepo>` |
+
+### GitRepo Class
+
+| Method | Description | Returns |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `listRemotes()` | List all remotes | `Promise<{remote: string, url: string}[]>` |
+| `ensureRemote(name, url)` | Ensure remote exists | `Promise<void>` |
+| `getUrlForRemote(name)` | Get URL for remote | `Promise<string>` |
+| `pushBranchToRemote(branch, remote)` | Push branch to remote | `Promise<void>` |
+| `getUncommittedDiff(excludeFiles?)` | Get uncommitted changes | `Promise<string[]>` |
+| `getAllCommitMessages()` | Get commit history | `Promise<CommitInfo[]>` |
+
+## 💡 Pro Tips
+
+- **🔧 Always call `init()`** before using any repository operations
+- **📁 Use absolute paths** for repository directories when possible
+- **🚫 Exclude large files** from diff analysis using the `excludeFiles` parameter
+- **⚡ Batch operations** when working with multiple repositories
+- **🛡️ Handle errors gracefully** - network issues can cause clone operations to fail
