+## Files
+
+These are the files that are created and/or modified with this installer:
+
+```txt
+~/.config/envman/PATH.env
+~/.gitconfig
+~/.local/bin/delta
+~/.local/opt/delta-VERSION/bin/delta
+```
+
+## How to set delta's color scheme
+
+Delta uses `~/.gitconfig` for most of its options.
+
+Set `delta.syntax-theme` to change the color scheme:
+
+```bash
+git config delta.syntax-theme 'Coldark-Dark'
+```
+
+## How to list / preview delta's themes
+
+You can list all available themes with `--list-syntax-themes`, or see each color
+schemes in action with `--show-syntax-themes`:
+
+```bash
+delta --list-syntax-themes --dark
+delta --show-syntax-themes --dark
+```
+
+You can also show only light or dark themes:
+
+```bash
+delta --list-syntax-themes --light
+delta --show-syntax-themes --light
+```
+
+```bash
+delta --list-syntax-themes --dark
+delta --show-syntax-themes --dark
+```
+
+Here's the current list, for convenience:
+

+
+## How to manually configure git to use delta
+
+You can use `git config --global` to get or set any arbitrary option of
+`~/.gitconfig`.
+
+```bash
+git config --global page.diff delta
+git config --global page.show delta
+git config --global page.log delta
+git config --global page.blame delta
+git config --global page.reflog delta
+
+git config --global interactive.diffFilter 'delta --color-only'
+
+git config delta.syntax-theme 'Coldark-Dark'
+```
+
+Your `~/.gitconfig` will then contain these sections and options:
```gitconfig
[pager]
[interactive]
diffFilter = delta --color-only
-```
