=The template way=

==Prerequisites==

Make sure none of those files/diretories exist for your test (user). If they do, move them away for now:

~/.gitignore
~/.mrconfig
~/.config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh
~/.config/mr/available.d/zsh.vcsh
~/.config/mr/config.d/mr.vcsh
~/.config/vcsh/repo.d/mr.git/

All of the files are part of the template repo, the directory is where the template will be stored

apt-get install mr # this is optional, but highly recommended

==Clone the template==

    mkdir -p ~/work/git
    cd !$
    git clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh.git vcsh
    cd vcsh
    ln -s vcsh /usr/local/bin
    cd
    vcsh clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template.git mr.vcsh 

==Enable your test repository==

    mv ~/.zsh   ~/zsh.bak
    mv ~/.zshrc ~/zsh.bak
    cd ~/.config/mr/config.d/
    ln -s ../available.d/mr.vcsh .
    cd
    mr up

==Set up your own repos==

Now, it's time to edit the template config and fill it with your own remotes:

    vim .config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh
    vim .config/mr/available.d/zsh.vcsh

And then create your own stuff

    vcsh init foo
    vcsh run foo git add -f bar baz quux
    vcsh run foo git remote add origin git://quuux
    vcsh run foo git commit
    vcsh run foo git push
    
    cp .config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh .config/mr/available.d/foo.vcsh
    vim .config/mr/available.d/foo.vcsh # add your own repo

Done!

==Daily use==

This is the beauty of it all. Once you are set up, just run:

   mr up
   mr push

Neat.


=The steal-from-template way=

    git clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template.git

Then look around in the clone. Should be reasonable simple to understand. If not, poke me RichiH on freenode (query) or OFTC (#vcs-home).


=The manual way=

# This is how my setup looks. Adapt to your style or copy mine verbatim, both is fine.

# Create workspace
    mkdir -p ~/work/git
    cd !$

# Clone vcsh and make it available
    git clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh.git vcsh
    sudo ln -s ~/work/git/vcsh/vcsh /usr/bin/local
    hash -r

# Grab my mr config. see below for details on how I set this up
    vcsh clone ssh://<remote>/mr.git
    cd ~/.config/mr/config.d/
    ln -s ../available.d/* .
