 ## The channel
 
-Two files in this repository feed Package Control, and the distinction between them matters:
+`repository.json` in this repository is a Package Control **repository** file: its top-level key
+is `packages`, and it describes vDiff itself — where the code lives and which releases exist.
+`"tags": true` means Package Control reads the repository's git tags, so publishing a release is
+just `git tag v1.0.1 && git push --tags`. A package whose tags are all unpushed resolves to zero
+releases, and Package Control drops it from the list without an error — if vDiff is missing from
+**Install Package**, check the tags reached GitHub.

-  vDiff itself: where the code lives and which releases exist. `"tags": true` means Package

+here. Add a package there instead of in this repository.
-  `git tag v1.0.1 && git push --tags`. A package whose tags are all unpushed resolves to zero
-  releases, and Package Control drops it from the list without an error — if vDiff is missing
-  from **Install Package**, check the tags reached GitHub.
-- `channel.json` — a **channel** file. Its top-level key is `repositories`, and it is nothing but
-  a list of repository-file URLs. This is the one users add to `channels`.
-
-The indirection is what makes a channel worth having: users add one URL once, and every package
-you later append to `repositories` shows up in their **Install Package** list without them
-changing anything.
-
-### Adding another package to the channel
-
-Append the URL of that package's *repository* file to `repositories` in `channel.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "$schema": "sublime://packagecontrol.io/schemas/channel",
-    "schema_version": "4.0.0",
-    "repositories": [
-        "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaclavt/vdiff/main/repository.json",
-        "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaclavt/vAI/main/channel.json"
-    ]
-}
-```
-
-Two things to watch:
-
-- The URL must be a repository file (top-level `packages`), whatever it is named. vAI's
-  `channel.json` is a repository file despite its name, so it belongs in a `repositories` array —
-  Package Control rejects any file without a `repositories` key when it is listed under `channels`.
-- Package Control fetches anonymously over HTTPS, so the URL has to be publicly readable. A
-  package on a private host is not installable this way.
-
-If you would rather skip the channel for a single package, a repository file can be added directly
-to the `repositories` array of Package Control's settings instead.
