+# minigrep
+
+A command-line search tool built in Rust, following the [minigrep project](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch12-00-an-io-project.html) from **The Rust Programming Language** book.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+cargo run -- <query> <file_path>
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+Searches for a string pattern within a file and prints the matching lines to stdout.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This is my personal implementation of the minigrep project from the Rust Book, used to practice Rust fundamentals such as:
+
+- CLI argument handling
+- File I/O
+- Error handling
+- Structs and methods
+- Iterators and closures
+- Writing tests
