 Rename files with your favourite editor
 
+## Installation
+
+Build from source:
+
 ```bash
-git clone git@github.com:js0ny/renamedit.git
+git clone https://github.com/js0ny/renamedit.git
 cd renamedit
 go build
 ```
 
+## Usage
+
 ```bash
-renamedit <dir>
+renamedit [options] <directory>
 ```
+
+### Options
+
+- `-ignore-ext`: Ignore file extensions when renaming files. This will preserve the original extensions.
+
+### Examples
+
+Basic usage:
+```bash
+renamedit /path/to/directory
+```
+
+Ignore file extensions (useful for batch renaming while preserving extensions):
+```bash
+renamedit -ignore-ext /path/to/directory
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The program opens a temporary file in your preferred text editor
+2. Edit the file names as needed
+3. Save and exit the editor
+4. The program will rename the files according to your edits
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `EDITOR`: Set this to your preferred text editor (defaults to vim)
+
+## Supported Editors
+
+The following editors are explicitly supported with wait flags:
+- Visual Studio Code (code)
+- Sublime Text (subl)
+- Zed Editor (zeditor)
+- Atom (atom)
+- Gedit (gedit)
+- And most terminal editors (vim, nano, etc.)
