+Getting started
+===============
+
+### Test
+
+After successful installation you can test dav with your WebDAV server.
+
+	dav list http://example.com/webdav/
+
+This lists all child resources of the specified collection. If you are unfamiliar to WebDAV terminology this means basically listing all files in a directory, similar to the ls unix tool. Infact you can also write dav ls instead of dav list and there is also a -l option like ls has one. 
+
+### Create a repository
+
+All dav commands are expecting a url argument, but it may be a bit cumbersome to type a full url every time. But you can configure a repository in the dav configuration file ($HOME/.dav/config.xml) with the servers url, optional authentication information and other options. After that you can access a webdav server just with the repository name and an optional path.
+
+So when you have created a repository with the name myserv and the url http://example.com/webdav/, you can just type
+
+	dav list myserv
+
+You can add a path to the repository name to access an other url
+
+	dav list myserv/mycollection/
+
+This lists the content of http://example.com/webdav/mycollection/
+
+The easiest way to create a repository is with the add-repository command. This is a simple configuration assistant.
+
+	$ dav add-repository
+	Each repository must have an unique name.
+	name: myserv
+
+	Specify the repository base url.
+	url: http://example.com/webdav/
+
+	User for HTTP authentication.
+	user (optional): myuser
+	password (optional): 
+
+
+	Added repository: myserv (http://example.com/webdav/)
+
+You can also configure the config.xml yourself, check out this example page and the config.xml spec.
+
+More informations about urls and path in dav here.
