+## Benchmarks
+
+The purpose of this tool is to benchmark the performance of the `hermit` CLI.This will let us track performance changes from one release to another.
+
+Example of current benchmarks with a VM(4xCPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, RAM 6GB) :
+
+- Debug mode

+
+## Requirements
+
+- Install [Hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) : `cargo install --locked hyperfine` 
+
+  More info can be found in [installation docs](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine#installation).
+
+- Build Hermit, preferably in release mode.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Hermit-cli
+
+Run `./benchmarks/bench-cli.sh`, this will run benchmarks using hermit-cli with available samples.
+
+Default samples used during the bench :
+- [cat](/src/cat/)
+- [count_vowels](/src/count_vowels/)
+- [cowsay](/src/cowsay/)
+
+You can provide your own samples to benchmark against it :
+- Create a folder under `benchmarks/bench-cli/custom/` with the '$name' of your sample (ex.: benchmarks/custom/my_cli)
+- Create a HermitFile under `benchmarks/bench-cli/custom/$name/` (ex.: benchmarks/custom/my_cli/HermitFile)
+- Run `./benchmarks/bench-cli.sh --only-custom`
+
+### Cli binaires produced by Hermit-cli
+
+Run `./benchmarks/bench-artifacts.sh`, this will run benchmarks using cli binaries produced by hermit-cli.
+
+Default samples used during the bench :
+- [cat](/src/cat/)
+- [count_vowels](/src/count_vowels/)
+- [cowsay](/src/cowsay/)
+
+You can benchmark your own samples, follow instructions provided by: `./benchmarks/bench-artifacts.sh --only-custom`
