+
+## Features
+
+- Browse GitHub repositories
+- Search for repositories by name
+- View detailed information about each repository
+- User-friendly interface built with Jetpack Compose
+- Efficient data fetching using GraphQL
+- Lightweight networking with Ktor
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Jetpack Compose**: Modern UI toolkit for building native Android UIs.
+- **GraphQL**: A query language for APIs and runtime for executing queries.
+- **Ktor**: Asynchronous framework for building connected applications in Kotlin.
+- **Kotlin**: The programming language used for development.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
+
+- Android Studio (Arctic Fox or later recommended)
+- Kotlin 1.5 or later
+- Basic knowledge of GraphQL and Ktor
+
+## Installation
+
+1. **Clone the repository:**
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/jk2pr/GoGit-Android.git
+    ```
+
+2. **Open the project in Android Studio.**
+
+3. **Sync the project with Gradle files:**
+    - Go to `File` -> `Sync Project with Gradle Files`.
+
+4. **Build and run the app on an Android device or emulator.**
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Obtain `google-services.json`
+
+1. Go to the [Firebase Console](https://console.firebase.google.com/).
+2. Create a new project or select an existing project.
+3. In the Firebase Console, navigate to `Project settings` (gear icon) > `General` tab.
+4. In the `Your apps` section, select the Android icon to add an Android app.
+5. Register your app with the package name used in your project.
+6. Download the `google-services.json` file.
+7. Place the `google-services.json` file in the `app/` directory of your project.
+
+### Create `secrets.properties`
+
+1. In the root of your project directory, create a file named `secrets.properties`.
+
+2. Add the following properties to `secrets.properties`:
+
+    ```properties
+    client_id=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN
+    client_secret=YOUR_GITHUB_SECRED
+    ```
+
+   **Note:** Make sure to replace tokens with your actual GitHub token.
+
+3. Ensure the `secrets.properties` file is included in `.gitignore` to avoid committing sensitive information:
+    ```bash
+    # Add this line to your .gitignore file
+    secrets.properties
+    ```
