 # zpe
-A darn stupid zsh plugin manager
+A utility to ease the management of shell plugins (particularly Zsh). This is NOT a complete plugin manager, I recommend [znap](https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap/) if you are looking for one. This script just takes the edge off of manually managing them, if you don't want to deal with one of the full-fledged plugin managers.
 
 ## Usage
-Just put a list of git repos (full url, either ssh or http) in `~/.config/zpe/repositories`, and then 
+### Basic usage
+  1. Source the script in your shell rc
+  2. Add a list of the plugin repositories in `~/.config/zpe/repositories`. Use the full URL, either SSH or HTTP, comments can be added with a #.
+  3. Run `zpe-clone` to pull the repositories
+  4. Source the plugin in your shell rc using the `zpe-source` command. For each plugin, locate the source-able file (usually contains the word init, or has the .plugin.zsh extension). Add it to your shell rc using the following syntax: `zpe-source <plugin name>/<source-able file name>`. Make sure that this goes after sourcing the `zpe.sh` script.
+
+### Extra commands
+  * `zpe-pull` updates the repositories
+  * `zpe-clean` removes any cloned repositories that are no longer in the `repositories` file
+  * `zpe` opens the `repositories` file in $EDITOR
 
 ## Motivation
-All of the other available plugin managers try to get way to fancy. I just need something to automatically clone git repositories and source the files for me. Thats it!
+All of the other available plugin managers try to get way too fancy. I just need something to automatically clone git repositories, and make my config nice and portable. The script is intentionally highly extensible and feature-minimal.
