Why README.md always goes out of sync (and how I fixed it)

README.md usually becomes outdated after a few commits.

We change code:

• add dependencies
• change entry points
• refactor folders

But README stays the same.

GitHub only creates a README template.
It doesn’t keep documentation in sync.

I wanted a simple solution where:

• README updates automatically
• manual sections stay untouched
• no config or cloud is needed

So I built a small CLI that updates only safe sections of README.md.

Run:
npx readme-fast

It’s open-source and works with existing projects.
