+# Overview
+
+## What it is
+
+`pulp-docs` is a tool for serving and building an unified doc out of Pulp's Plugin Ecosystem.
+
+The idea is that each repository should install `pulp-docs` and imediatelly be able run the unified website server.
+Also, this should be used for the production build.
+
+It was developed as part of [The new Pulp "Unified Docs"](https://hackmd.io/eE3kG8qhT9eohRYbtooNww?view) project.
+
+## How it works
+
+Through a `mkdocs-macro-plugin` hook (called in early stages of mkdocs processing), we inject the following steps:
+
+1. Read [`repolist.yml`](https://github.com/pedro-psb/pulp-docs/blob/main/src/pulp_docs/data/repolist.yml) packaged with `pulp-docs` to know which repos/urls to use
+1. Download and Place all source code required to dir under `tempfile.gettempdir()`
+    - Uses `../{repo}` if available OR
+    - Uses existing cached `{tmpdir}/{repo}` if available OR
+    - Downloads from github
+1. Configure `mkdocs` through a hook: fix `mkdocstrings` config, generate navigation structure, etc
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Recommended way for daily usage:
+
+=== "pipx"
+
+    ```bash
+    pipx install git+https://github.com/pedro-psb/pulp-docs --include-deps
+    pulp-docs serve
+    ```
+
+=== "pip"
+
+    ```bash
+    pip --user install git+https://github.com/pedro-psb/pulp-docs
+    pulp-docs serve
+    ```
