 # AniCal
 
 Generate ical from your Anilist data for upcoming anime releases that are in your planning, watching (sequel) (optional) and in progress lists.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Git pull the repo
+2. Run `python main.py`
+3. The `anime.ics` file will be created in the repo root
+4. Import the `.ics` file into your calendar app of choice
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `config.toml` file is where you can configure the lists to pull from and the ical name.
+
+```toml
+[anilist]
+userId = 8283179 # your Anilist user id
+mediaType = "ANIME" # this is the media type you want to pull from, just leave it as is
+
+[anical]
+listNames = ["Completed", "Planning", "Watching", "Rewatching", "Paused"] # these can be any of the lists in your Anilist account including custom
+```
