# megamono adopt

Syntax, options, and usage for the adopt command.


Add Megamono to a repository you already work in, without starting over. Adoption begins with a survey and lets you choose which conventions to introduce.

## Preview a small adoption

```sh
megamono adopt --survey
megamono adopt --profile=pilot --dry-run --interactive=false
```

The pilot adds lint, health checks, and project discovery. Follow [the adoption walkthrough](/docs/workflows/adoption) to review and apply the changes.
