+# Building
+Since sshyp is written entirely in Python, it doesn't need to be compiled. It does, however, need to be packaged for installation.
+
+A packaging script is included in the root directory of the repo in order to package sshyp for your distribution. To package sshyp from source, simply run:
 
 ```
-sshyp config
+git clone https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp.git
+cd sshyp
+./package.sh
+```
+
+The packaging script has been tested on Arch Linux with dpkg as a dependency for Debian and Termux packaging.
+
+The AUR version and the packages attatched to the release tags were already packaged using this script.
+
+Currently, the script can create packages for Arch (PKGBUILD), Debian, Termux, and generic. Packaging for other distributions coming soon.
+
+# Usage
+Upon initial installation (on both the server and client devices), be sure to run:
+
+```
+sshyp tweak
 ```
 
 This command will allow you to configure the settings necessary for sshyp to function.
-As of right now, sshyp is rapidly changing, and as such, it is a good idea to run "sshyp config" after each update.

 # Roadmap
 Short-term Goals:
 
-- re-write bad, leftover "rpass" code
 - create new file list w/color and w/o file extensions
-- create a man page
 - overhaul argument system
 - fix lots of bugs!
 - make lots of optimizations!
 
 Medium-term Goals:
 
-- create minimal GUI apps (Linux x86_64, Linux aarch64, Android aarch64)
+- create minimal GUI apps (Linux x86_64, Linux aarch64)
 - auto-completion on tab for CLI version
 
 Long-term Goals:
 
 - seize the thrones, shear the humans
+
+# Known Issues
+
+Currently, the entry list displays each entry with the file extension ".gpg" visible (which you do not type when reading, modifying, or creating an entry). This will be corrected when the new entry list is added.

-# Main Targets:
-# TODO Make it so that when a new folder is created in sshyp, it is automatically created on the remote server
-# TODO Replace references to sshyp directory with a changeable variable
-# TODO Clean everything up and move sshync to a separate package
-# TODO Add dry run support
-# TODO use partition command instead of split for separating paths
-# TODO use classes!

-# sshync 2021.11.05.unreleased5
-# sshync was created to solve a problem with rpass/sshyp, and as such, sshync will be bundled with sshyp until it is
-# polished enough for a standalone release
-
-# sshync is a wrapper around sftp that allows easy remote directory synchronization via Python
-# openssh (on POSIX compliant Unix) is required
-
-# sshync will always overwrite the older files with the newer files, regardless of all other conditions
-#   ^the age is determined by the date and time of the last modification to the files

-# syncing via sshync is always done recursively

+Note: This release requires the configuration ("sshyp tweak") to be re-done, as a device name now must be set (for multi-client deletion).
+
+Features:
+
+- added multi-client deletion
+    ^ this means that when an entry is deleted from one client (and thus the server), if another client that has a copy of the deleted entry tries to sync, instead of re-uploading the deleted entry, it will now also have its entry deleted.
+    ^ the current implementation requires a new Python script in addition to sshyp and sshync
+
+Changes:
+
+- fixed an issue where sshyp would use the wrong SSH key when trying to delete entries from or create folders on the server
+    ^ this is a fix that was recently applied to sshync - turns out I made the same mistake in sshyp

+.TH sshyp 1 "16 February 2022" "2022.02.16.fr4.5" "sshyp man page"
+.SH NAME
+sshyp \- A very simple self-hosted, synchronized password manager. Alternative to GNU pass. 
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+sshyp [OPTION] [[FLAG]] [/<entry name>]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+sshyp is a lightweight password and note management program written in Python. sshyp is used via CLI and is self-hosted with a client-server model. sshyp expects that you have access to a personal server with a properly configured ssh server, ideally accepting remote connections.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Setting up sshyp for the first time or altering its configuration (also recommended after major updates):
+    sshyp tweak
+    *follow the prompts
+
+Reading an existing entry saved as ~/.password-pasture/development/github.gpg:
+    sshyp /development/github
+
+Copying the password of an existing entry saved as ~/.password-pasture/financial/bank.gpg:
+    sshyp copy -p
+    *answer the prompt with "/financial/bank"
+    *enter decryption password
+
+Editing the username of an existing entry saved as ~/.password-pasture/game.gpg:
+    sshyp edit -u
+    *answer the first prompt with "game"
+    *follow the prompts
+
+Making a new entry using the built-in password generator:
+    sshyp gen
+    *follow the prompts
+
+Creating a note-only entry:
+    sshyp add -n
+    *follow the prompts
+
+Syncing entries with the server:
+    sshyp sync
+
+Removing an existing folder saved as ~/.password-pasture/social:
+    sshyp shear
+    *when prompted for what to delete, since you are deleting a folder, be sure to enter your choice with a following "/", e.g. "social/" or "/social/"
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+In order to quickly read an existing entry, just run "sshyp </entry name>".
+
+Options for other operations are as follows:
+
+ help/--help/-h           bring up the help menu
+ version/-v               display sshyp version info
+ tweak                    configure sshyp
+ add                      add an entry
+ gen                      generate a new password
+ edit                     edit an existing entry
+ copy                     copy details of an entry to your clipboard
+ shear/-rm                delete an existing entry
+ sync/-s                  manually sync the entry directory via sshync
+.SH FLAGS
+add:
+ password/-p             add a password entry
+ note/-n                 add a note entry
+ folder/-f               add a new folder for entries
+edit:
+ rename/relocate/-r      rename or relocate an entry
+ username/-u             change the username of an entry
+ password/-p             change the password of an entry
+ note/-n                 change the note attached to an entry
+ url/-l                  change the url attached to an entry
+copy:
+ username/-u             copy the username of an entry to your clipboard
+ password/-p             copy the password of an entry to your clipboard
+ url/-l                  copy the URL of an entry to your clipboard
+ note/-n                 copy the note of an entry to your clipboard
+gen:
+ update/-u               generate a password for an existing entry
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+The following limitations will be corrected in future updates:
+
+    Currently, the entry list displays each entry with the file extension ".gpg" visible (which you do not type when reading, modifying, or creating an entry). This will be corrected when the new entry list is added.
+
+The following characters/character sequences are not supported in entry/folder titles:
+
+    @   ^&*
+.SH SETUP
+sshyp operates on a client-server model, and thus requires you to have access to your own server (whether it be a physical home server or a cloud rental) with remote access via SSH.
+
+The sshyp package includes modes for operating on both client and server devices, so only one package is necessary.
+
+Server setup:
+    Configure an openssh server (if sshyp was installed from the Debian package, the ssh server was not installed as a dependency and needs to be installed manually)
+    Allow remote access to the SSH server w/public key authentication (disabling password-only authentication recommended)
+    Install sshyp
+    Run "sshyp tweak" and set the device type as server
+    Done!
+
+Client setup:
+    Install sshyp
+    Run "sshyp tweak" and follow the prompts
+    Copy the generated public SSH key to the server using preferred method (manually adding to authorized_keys, ssh-copy-id, etc.)
+    **this step will be automated in the future: if an entry library already exists on the server, make sure to manually recreate any folders that exist on the server in the ~/.password-pasture directory
+    If you already have entries on the server, sync them using "sshyp sync"
+    Done!
+
+Please note that the server setup intentionally does not allow the reading of entries (it does not allow adding a gpg decryption key). For security purposes, only clients can read entries.

+sshyp 2022.02.16.fr4.6
 
-First public release of sshyp.
+The High-Tech Shears Update - Patch 6
 
-This release fixes major bugs from rpass and rebrands the project.
+This release addresses a critical typo.
 
-New features:
-
-- an entirely new syncing back-end called sshync (custom Python wrapper around sftp)
-    ^ in thoery, all syncing-related data loss should now be fixed, however, this new
-    system has just been created and is still under testing. Maybe wait for a few patches
-    before trusting this system.
+Note: Upgrading from releases older than fr4.6 requires the configuration ("sshyp tweak") to be re-done, as the configuration process has changed.
 
 Changes:
 
-- branding has been updated to reflect new project name and goals
-- custom directories, custom ssh keys, and offline only mode are removed (may be temporary)
-    ^ the configuration wizard is being re-written in the next major update
+- corrected a typo error causing folder syncing issues
 
-Planned for next update (The Fluffy Update):
+&&
 
-- modularized and optimized code
-    ^ some older, bad code from "rpass" will be re-written.
-- new visual features
-    ^ this includes the new file list and thematic text art. sshyp will be
-    getting a retro computing theme.
-- packages for more environments
-    ^ "sshyp" will be officially packaged for Arch Linux, Alpine Linux, and Termux (Android).
-    Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora packaging will come later.

-- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile devices (Android + Linux phones)
-    ^ the gui will also function on desktop linux
