+# PiDP 10 Services
+
+## Overview
+
+This repository combines a set of useful scripts and services, to run on the
+PiDP-10 in order to make it easier to work with it and develop for it. These
+services can be installed on the PiDP-10 and automate tasks such as copying
+files onto the ITS operating system. These tools help automate processes, that
+would require interaction with the Linux part of the PiDP-10 when developing on
+another system.
+
+## git-monitor
+
+The git-monitor is a system service, that monitors a target directory on the
+PiDP-10. It contains a file with a list of git repositories to monitor, one at a
+time. The service will check if any of the repositories changed, and pull them.
+After a successful pull a script will be called, if it exists, that allows the
+newly updated repository to interact with a running PDP-10 simulation.
+
+The monitor consists of a script, that needs to be installed to `/usr/local/bin`
+and a systemd unit-file to run it as a service.
