+This directory holds the user profiles.
+
+To make your own profile, create a new directory here with your username.
+e.g. for username `mark` make a directory called `mark`
+Inside that directory, create `user.gs` and `user.gc` files.
+These are your own user scripts, loaded after the GOOS library and GOAL library respectively.
+
+The rest of the directory can be used however you please!
+
+To automatically log in as a specific user, create a `user.txt` file in this directory
+which contains just the username you want to log in as. That way you don't have to
+modify multiple scripts when you want to change users.
+
+If you want to make your profile public, edit the .gitignore in this directory.
