ADR Tools

A command-line tool for working with Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).

Quick Start

Use the adr command to manage ADRs. Try running adr help.

ADRs are stored in your project as Markdown files in the doc/adr directory.

Create an ADR directory in the root of your project:
```
 adr init doc/architecture/decisions
```
This will create the first ADR recording that you are using ADRs to record architectural decisions and linking to Michael Nygard's article on the subject.
Create Architecture Decision Records
```
 adr new Implement as Unix shell scripts
```
This will create a new, numbered ADR file and open it in your editor of choice (as specified by the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable).

To create a new ADR that supercedes a previous one (ADR 9, for example), use the -s option.
```
 adr new -s 9 Use Rust for performance-critical functionality
```
This will create a new ADR file that is flagged as superceding ADR 9, and changes the status of ADR 9 to indicate that it is superceded by the new ADR. It then opens the new ADR in your editor of choice.
For further information, use the built in help:
```
 adr help
```

See the tests for detailed examples.
