## What it is
splitsh-lite is a fast, Go-based replacement for `git subtree split` that extracts subdirectories of a monolithic repository into read-only standalone repositories. It enables synchronizing a monorepo to multiple standalone repositories in real time.

## Use cases
- split a monorepo subdirectory into a standalone repository
- replace slow git subtree split with a faster tool
- synchronize a monolithic repo to read-only standalone repos
- publish packages from subdirectories of a monorepo
- manage monorepo vs manyrepo workflows

## When to choose
- you maintain a monorepo but need standalone read-only mirrors of subdirectories
- git subtree split is too slow for your repository size
- you want automated real-time synchronization between a monorepo and standalone repos

## When to avoid
- you need two-way synchronization or writable standalone repositories
- you want to merge multiple existing repos into a monorepo (use tomono instead)
- you prefer a GUI or hosted solution over a CLI
