@@ -26,6 +26,22 @@ Two commands. The first lays down the files and clones the six externals; the
 second picks and installs the software. There is no third step, and nothing
 here prompts for anything.
 
+**Type the second path in full.** Bare `dotup` will not be found in the shell
+that ran the install, and that is not a bug in either command: Ubuntu's own
+`~/.profile` adds `~/.local/bin` to `PATH` only if the directory already exists
+*when you log in*. On a fresh box it does not, the install then creates it, and
+the shell you are sitting in never re-reads `.profile`. A new login shell finds
+it. Nothing a child process can do changes the `PATH` of its parent, so the
+install prints the working path rather than pretending otherwise.
+
+**git does not have to be installed first.** It used to: chezmoi is a static
+download and installs fine, but all six `git-repo` externals need git, and
+Ubuntu cloud images, WSL and the docker image all ship curl and no git — so the
+documented first command failed on the most ordinary kind of fresh box there
+is. `.chezmoiscripts/run_before_00-require-git.sh` installs it across
+apt/dnf/yum/pacman/zypper/apk/brew, and explains itself where it cannot (no
+sudo, or macOS, where `git` is a stub that opens a GUI installer).
