 # How to run
-*Coming soon*
+Download the binary for your OS on the [release page](https://github.com/Slug-Boi/cocommit/releases)  
+Once downloaded you need to create an alias for your shell guides found below:  
+[Bash Guide](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-bash-aliases/)  
+*^please note if you use another shell than bash you will need to look up how to do it in that shell^*  
+[Powershell Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/set-alias?view=powershell-7.4)  
+
+Once you've created an alias for the program you need to set an env variable (authors_file) in your shell. This should be the path pointing to your authors.txt file   
+
+you can now run it using the alias shorthand you assigned it to  
+## Usage:
+```zsh
+$ cocommit "message" <name1> [name2] [name3]...
+
+$ cocommit "message" <name:email1> [name:email2] [name:email3]...
+
+$ cocommit "message" <name:email1> <name1> [name:email2]  
+
+$ cocommit
+*prints usage*
+
+$ cocommit users
+*prints list of users*
+```
