+## Can I use aider with multiple git repos at once?
+
+Currently aider can only work with one repo at a time.
+
+There are some things you can try if you need to work with
+multiple interrelated repos:
+
+- You can run aider in repo-A where you need to make a change
+and use `/read` to add some files read-only from another repo-B.
+This can let aider see key functions or docs from the other repo.
+- You can run `aider --show-repo-map > map.md` within each
+repo to create repo maps.
+You could then run aider in repo-A and 
+use `/read ../path/to/repo-B/map.md` to share
+a high level map of the other repo.
+- You can use aider to write documentation about a repo.
+Inside each repo, you could run `aider docs.md`
+and work with aider to write some markdown docs.
+Then while using aider to edit repo-A
+you can then `/read ../path/to/repo-B/docs.md` to
+read in those docs from the other repo.
