-Some people found it useful to look at slides and videos explaining how `vcsh`
-works instead of working through the docs, first.
-They can all be found [on the author's talk page][talks].
+# Usage Examples
+
+There are three different ways to interact with `vcsh` repositories; this
+section will only show the simplest and easiest way.
+
+Certain more advanced use cases require the other two ways, but don't worry
+about this for now. If you never even bother playing with the other two
+modes you will still be fine.
+
+`vcsh enter` and `vcsh run` will be covered in later sections.
