Hi EROFS maintainers,
As a prospective GSoC 2026 contributor interested in low-level
filesystem work, here's a small documentation improvement to
README.md:
- Added a prominent Quick Start section early for better onboarding
- Full beginner workflow: build → mkfs.erofs → fsck → erofsfuse mount → cleanup
- Compressed example + multithreading note
- Shields badges and upstream/community links
Patch attached (generated from my fork:
https://github.com/Aayushmaan-24/erofs-utils/tree/feature/readme-quick-start).
All commands verified locally. Happy to revise or split changes.
Thanks for considering!
