+       <p> <b>Repo Depot</b> is a simple JetBrains plugin that lets teams share common bookmarks through source control and open them through their IDE.</p>
+
+       <ul>
+           <li>Bookmarks are available under Tools</li>
+           <li>Bookmarks are maintained in the Settings UI</li>
+           <li>Bookmarks can be nested and organized within the Settings menu</li>
+           <li>The menu configuration persists in a root-level file called <code>repo_depot.json</code>. If the file doesn't exist, it'll be created automatically</li>
+       </ul>
+
+        <p><b>Note:</b></p>
+        <p>Teams may want to exclude <code>repot_depot.json</code> from their CI/CD processes to quickly change their bookmarks via pull requests, without triggering long-running build validation processes.</p>
