 ## Description
 
-This is a project template to create microcontroller apps with automatized firmware builds for [esp32](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32), [esp32s2](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s2) and [esp32s3](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s3) microcontroller boards. It uses for that [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) and [platformio](https://platformio.org/).

+This is a project template to create microcontroller apps with automatized firmware builds for [esp32](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32), [esp32s2](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s2) and [esp32s3](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s3) microcontroller boards. It uses for that [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) and [platformio](https://platformio.org/). Use this repository as a template for your own esp32 projects.
 
 ## Requirements
 
 - [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions)
 - [platformio](https://platformio.org/)
 - [python](https://www.python.org/)
 
-
 ## GitHub Actions - Workflow
 
 The release build happens in the `build & release` workflow: [build_release.yml](.github/workflows/build_release.yml).
 It creates a release, after creation of a new git tag (named it like `v1.0.0`).
 
 If you want to test the build on all merge w/o creating a tag then the `build` workflow is what you looking for: [build.yml](.github/workflows/build.yml)
 
-
 ## PlatformIO
 
 [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/) is a tool to create microcontroller apps for arduino platforms and compatibles (esp32). You can install the [Visual Studio Code extension](https://platformio.org/install/ide?install=vscode) in the [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) IDE.
 
-
 ## Python
 
 There is a tiny python script needed to customize the firmware filenames within platformio, see documentation: https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/scripting/examples/custom_program_name.html
 
 The [extra_script.py](extra_script.py) script gets the platformio env (e.g. lolin32) and the git-tag for the firmware filename.
 This is required to publish several firmware names in the github artifacts of a release.
 
+## Get Started
+
+1. Create a new git repository and use this [repository](https://github.com/mcuw/ESP32-ghbuild-template) as its template
+2. Implement your application in the [src/main.cpp](src/main.cpp)
+3. Comment your new change in the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file
+4. Push your changes
+
+```sh
+git add .
+```
+
+```sh
+git commit -am "my app"
+```
+
+```sh
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+5. Create a new tag to trigger a release, e.g. for v1.0.0
+
+```sh
+git tag v1.0.0
+```
+
+```sh
+git push origin v1.0.0
+```
+
+6. You can find your firmwares under [Releases](releases)
+
 ## CHANGELOG
 
 You can write your changes in the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) before you create a release. It will be shown under the release page.

-## Usage
+## Customize your project
 
-Use this repository as a template for your own esp32 repository. You can reduce and adapt your required boards in the [platformio.ini](platformio.ini). Update the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file before you are creating a new release. When you create a new git tag then a new release will always includes  generated firmwares.
+You can reduce and adapt your required boards in the [platformio.ini](platformio.ini).
 
----
+Update the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file before you are creating a new release. By creating a new git tag you trigger a new release which generate for you the firmwares.
