+# Dockerized Plop Repository
+
+This repository provides a Dockerized setup for [Plop.js](https://plopjs.com/), a micro-generator framework that helps you automate the creation of files and components in your projects. 
+
+## Features
+
+- **Dockerized Environment**: Run Plop.js in a containerized environment.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed on your machine.
+
+### Usage
+
+1. **Run the Docker image**:
+   You can use the local image name for now, or once finalized, use the public image URL provided by GitHub Actions:
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm -it plop_plop
+   ```
