+# ROCm System Quick Start Guide for Developers
+
+Welcome to the monorepo for ROCm libraries!
+
+This quick start guide includes tips on how to work efficiently with this monorepo style.
+
+## 📂 Sparse Checkout: Working with a Subset of the Monorepo
+
+If you only need to work on specific projects within the monorepo, you can use **sparse checkout** to limit the files in your working directory.
+
+### Enable Sparse Checkout:
+```sh
+git clone --no-checkout <monorepo-url>
+cd <monorepo>
+git sparse-checkout init --cone
+git sparse-checkout set repo1 repo2
+git checkout develop
+```
+This ensures that only `repo1/` and `repo2/` directories are checked out.
+
+### Reset Sparse Checkout to Full Repo:
+```sh
+git sparse-checkout disable
+```
+

+
+## 🔍 Viewing Old History with Subtree Split
+
+Since the monorepo was created using **git subtree**, historical commit paths are preserved at the top-level, but per-file granularity of the commit history requires extra steps to view the history of changes before the individual repos were added to this monorepo. To view the commit history of a specific project before it was merged:
+
+### Create a Temporary History Branch:
+```sh
+git subtree split --prefix=repo1 -b repo1-history
+git checkout repo1-history
+```
+
+Now, you can use the typical logging commands to go through the old commit history.

+
+## ⚠️ GitHub Web UI Limitations
+
+The GitHub web interface does not correctly track file history when files are moved into a subdirectory via `git subtree`. To get the prior history of files, use the aforementioned subtree split method.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Per-Project Submodule Limitations
+
+Submodules that were present in the individual projects are not migrated over to the monorepo when `git subtree` is used. For the reverse direction, updates to submodules on the monorepo are also not propagated to the individual repos with `git subtree push`. If an individual project has submodules, please maintain submodules in both the monorepo and the individual repos during the migration period. Also consider why the submodule is in place, and whether a better solution should be implemented for the monorepo (e.g., shared top-level directory of submodules).
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Keeping the Monorepo Updated
+
+This monorepo will run hourly jobs to synchronize the monorepo with the individual repos using the below commands. Reminder that submodules are ignored during this process.
+
+### Pull Updates from Individual Repo:
+```sh
+git subtree pull --prefix=repo1 <repo1-url> <repo1-branch>
+```
+
+### Push Changes Back to the Individual Repo:
+```sh
+git subtree push --prefix=repo1 <repo1-url> <repo1-branch>
+```
