+=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.
