+Check out the repo somewhere and then run `deploy.sh` from inside the repo.
+
+The script will back up any existing dotfiles to `$REPODIR/dotfiles-backup/`
+and then replace the dotfiles in question with symlinks into the repo. It will
+also create a file called `.zshrc-local` (if one doesn't already exist) where
+you can set up an custom local behavior. Take a look inside the file for ideas.
+
+Once you have the symlinks set up, all you have to do to get updates is `git
+pull`, the symlinks will take care of the rest!
