URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see
each project's metadata for the exact URL.
All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical
commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to

If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them,
I'd be especially grateful.
SSH access, as well as push access can be individually
arranged .
If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following
snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each
project:
[url "git://git.madduck.net/madduck/"]

-* seed-gitignore:
- Seed .gitignore.d/<repo> from git ls-files.
+ Please note that there is a somewhat magic feature for run. Instead of <repo>

As noted earlier, `vcsh` will set <$GIT_DIR> and <$GIT_WORK_TREE> to the
appropriate values for fake bare git repositories.

+## DETAILED HOWTO AND FURTHER READING
+
+Man pages are intended to be short and thus often useless to glean best
+practices from. This software comes with a file called <README.md>. It contains
+various approaches to setting up and using vcsh. You can view the file it as
+plain text or render it into various other formats via Markdown.

+On Debian-based systems, this file can be found in </usr/share/doc/vcsh>.
