 # zerkalo
 
+A tool to efficiently mirror Linux distribution repositories (and perhaps some other forms of repositories). Uses a [git](https://git-scm.com/)-alike blob storage for data allowing for cheap snapshotting of repositories.
+
 ## Name
 
 The name zerkalo comes from the Russian [зеркало](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE) which is a mirror.
