+Photosync copies all you photos to a new destination folder.
 
-It separates them into folders of the structure yyyy/yyyy_mm_dd/ in the target folder. when setting an ssh server, the target folder may exist there.
+## what it does
+It separates the photos into folders of the structure yyyy/yyyy_mm_dd/ in the target folder, using exif data from the file. When setting an ssh server, the target folder may exist there.
 
 It can change the prefix from the generic "IMG_" to something you like. I use that to distinguish photos taken with different cameras, my daughters or my wifes…
 
 Optionally a "last" symlink identifies the latest file of the last run, so not everything in the source folder is copied or checked against the target again.
+
+## how to use
+Configure your target using the [photosync.conf](photosync.conf) example. On the command line use the parameter -c to set that file as parameter and -f to set the source folder.
+```
+$ ./photosync.sh -c photosync.conf -f ./my_photo_mix
+```
