 ## DESCRIPTION
 
@@ -31,33 +50,83 @@ vcsh. That being said, you can easily use `vcsh` without `mr` if you prefer.
 A sample configuration for `vcsh` and `mr` can be found at
 *https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template*
 
+Please note that you can always use a path instead of a name for <repo>.
+This is needed to support mr and other scripts properly and of no concern to
+an interactive user.
+
 ## OPTIONS
 
+* clone:
+  Clone an existing repository.
+
+* delete:
+  Delete an existing repository.
+
+* enter:
+  Enter repository; spawn new <$SHELL>.
+
+* help:
+  Display help.
+
 * init:
-  Initialize an empty repository
+  Initialize an empty repository.
 
-* clone:
-  Clone an existing repository
+* list:
+  List all local vcsh repositories.
+
+* list-tracked:
+  List all files tracked by vcsh.
+
+* list-tracked-by:
+  List files tracked by a repository.
+
+* rename:
+  Rename a repository.
 
 * run:
   Run command with <$GIT_DIR> and <$GIT_WORK_TREE> set. Allows you to run any
   and all commands without any restrictions. Use with care.
 
-* list:
-  List all local vcsh repositories
+  Please note that there is a somewhat magic feature for run. Instead of <repo>
+  it accepts <path>, as well. Anything that has a slash in it will be assumed to
+  be a path. `vcsh run` will then operate on this directory instead of the one
+  normally generated from the repository's name.
+  This is needed to support mr and other scripts properly and of no concern to
+  an interactive user.
 
-* help:
-  Display help
+* setup:
+  Set up repository with recommended settings.
+
+* write-gitignore:
+  Write .gitignore.d/<repo> via git ls-files.
+
+* <repo> <gitcommand>:
+  Shortcut to run `vcsh` on a repo. Will prepend `git` to <command> by itself.
+
+* <repo>:
+  Shortcut to run `vcsh enter <repo>`.
 
 ## ENVIRONMENT
 
 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>.
+
 ## SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
 
 `vcsh` allows you to execute arbitrary commands via `vcsh` run. For example,
-speaking, adding a `sudo`(8) rule for `vcsh` would be pretty stupid.

+Additionally, vcsh will source, i.e. execute, <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/config>.
+You can put any and all commands into this config file and they will be executed.
