# What is repoctl?

repoctl is a task-first CLI for teams that build and maintain pnpm or Turborepo monorepos. It turns repository conventions into repeatable commands for initialization, diagnosis, project creation, checks, reports, and releases.

## Start with repoctl

```bash
pnpm add -D repoctl
pnpm exec repo init
pnpm exec repo doctor
```

Read the [installation guide](/start/install-repoctl) or [command reference](/reference/commands).
