+# AGENTS.md
+
+Agent guide for the `mg` codebase - a Go replacement for [myrepos](https://myrepos.branchable.com/) that only supports git repos.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+`mg` is a CLI tool for managing multiple git repositories simultaneously. It uses `go-git/go-git` for pure Go git operations (no external git dependency required) and `spf13/cobra` for CLI structure.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- Parallel operations via `-j` flag
+- Compatible with existing `~/.mrconfig` files (auto-migrates to `mgconfig`)
+- Pure Go implementation - no external git binary needed
+- Embeddable as a library
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build
+go build ./...
+
+# Run tests
+go test ./...
+
+# Install the binary
+go install ./cmd/mg
+
+# Run directly
+go run ./cmd/mg <command>
+```
+

+## Implementation Status
+
+| Command      | Status      | Notes                              |
+|--------------|-------------|------------------------------------|
+| `clone`      | Implemented | Parallel via `-j`, creates dirs   |
+| `pull`       | Implemented | Parallel via `-j`                  |
+| `register`   | Implemented | Detects git root, stores `$HOME`  |
+| `unregister` | Implemented | By path or current dir             |
+| `import`     | Implemented | Merge configs, supports stdin `-` |
+| `push`       | Stub        | Prints "push called"               |
+| `fetch`      | Stub        | Prints "fetch called"              |
+| `status`     | Stub        | Prints "status called"             |
+| `diff`       | Stub        | Prints "diff called"               |
+| `commit`     | Stub        | Prints "commit called"             |
+| `config`     | Stub        | Prints "config called"             |
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Config File Location
+
+1. `$MGCONFIG` environment variable (if set)
+2. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mgconfig`
+3. `~/.config/mgconfig`
+
+### Config Format (JSON)
+
+```json
+{
+  "Repos": [
+    {
+      "Path": "$HOME/code/project",
+      "Remote": "git@github.com:user/project.git"
+    }
+  ],
+  "Aliases": {}
+}
+```
+
+### Migration from myrepos
+
+If no `mgconfig` exists but `~/.mrconfig` does, `mg` auto-migrates on first run. The `MRConfig.ToMGConfig()` method handles conversion.
+
+## Code Patterns
+
+### Adding a New Command
+
+1. Create `cmd/mg/cmd/<name>.go`
+2. Define a `cobra.Command` variable
+3. Register in `init()` via `rootCmd.AddCommand()`
+4. For parallel operations, follow the pattern in `clone.go` or `pull.go`:
+
+```go
+var myCmd = &cobra.Command{
+    Use:   "mycommand",
+    Short: "description",
+    Run: func(_ *cobra.Command, args []string) {
+        conf := GetConfig()  // Load config with fallback to mrconfig
+        // Implementation...
+    },
+}
+
+func init() {
+    rootCmd.AddCommand(myCmd)
+    myCmd.Flags().IntVarP(&jobs, "jobs", "j", 1, "number of parallel jobs")
+}
+```
+
+### Parallel Execution Pattern
+
+Used in `clone.go` and `pull.go`:
+
+```go
+repoChan := make(chan RepoType, len(repos))
+wg := sync.WaitGroup{}
+mutex := sync.Mutex{}
+errs := []Error{}
+
+wg.Add(len(repos))
+for i := 0; i < jobs; i++ {
+    go func() {
+        for repo := range repoChan {
+            // Do work
+            // Use mutex for shared state (errs, counters)
+            wg.Done()
+        }
+    }()
+}
+
+for _, repo := range repos {
+    repoChan <- repo
+}
+close(repoChan)
+wg.Wait()
+```
+
+### Git Operations
+
+Use `go-git/go-git/v5`:
+
+```go
+import git "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5"
+
+// Open repo (detects .git in parent dirs)
+r, err := git.PlainOpenWithOptions(path, &git.PlainOpenOptions{DetectDotGit: true})
+
+// Clone
+_, err = git.PlainClone(path, false, &git.CloneOptions{URL: remote})
+
+// Pull
+w, _ := r.Worktree()
+err = w.Pull(&git.PullOptions{})
+// Check: err == git.NoErrAlreadyUpToDate
+```
+
+### Path Handling
+
+- Paths in config use `$HOME` prefix for portability
+- `GetConfig()` in `common.go` expands `$HOME` to actual home directory at runtime
+- `register` command stores paths with `$HOME` prefix
+
+## Key Types
+
+### `parse.MGConfig`
+
+```go
+type MGConfig struct {
+    Repos   []Repo
+    Aliases map[string]string
+}
+
+// Methods
+func LoadMGConfig() (MGConfig, error)
+func (m *MGConfig) AddRepo(path, remote string) error
+func (m *MGConfig) DelRepo(path string) error
+func (m *MGConfig) Merge(m2 MGConfig) (Stats, error)
+func (m MGConfig) Save() error
+```
+
+### `parse.Repo`
+
+```go
+type Repo struct {
+    Path    string
+    Remote  string
+    Aliases map[string]string `json:"aliases,omitempty"`
+}
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `github.com/go-git/go-git/v5` - Pure Go git implementation
+- `github.com/spf13/cobra` - CLI framework
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests are minimal. Only `parse/myrepos_test.go` exists with a skeleton structure:
+
+```bash
+go test ./...
+```
+
+## Known Issues / TODOs
+
+1. Several commands are stubs (push, fetch, status, diff, commit, config)
+2. `parse/mgconf.go:61` has a hint about inefficient string concatenation in a loop
+3. Test coverage is minimal
+4. `unregister` command short description incorrectly says "add current path" (copy-paste error)
+
+## Error Handling Pattern
+
+Commands typically:
+1. Log errors via `log.Println(err)`
+2. Exit with `os.Exit(1)` on fatal errors
+3. Collect errors during parallel operations and report summary at end
