 ### Step 4b - Git setup
 
-First be sure that you have already placed your project under revision
-control using git.
-
-For example, for the default values of remote="master" and
-branch="gh-pages", the output of `git branch -a` should look like:
-
-      gh-pages
-    * master
-      remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
-      remotes/origin/gh-pages
-      remotes/origin/master
-
-This shows that "gh-pages" exists in the remote and local repos. There
-needs to be at least one commit in "gh-pages" with which to start.
-
 Edit `config.rb`, and add:
 
     activate :deploy do |deploy|
       deploy.method = :git
     end
 
+With this default configuration, it will deploy to the "origin/gh-pages" branch of
+your current repo.
+
 #### These settings are optional.
 
 To use a particular remote, add:
 
       deploy.remote = "some-other-remote-name"
 
-Default is `origin`. Run `git remote -v` to see a list of possible
-remotes.
+Default is `origin`. You can add a remote or a git url.
+Run `git remote -v` to see a list of possible remotes or add a new one first.
+If you specify a git url, be sure it ends with '.git'.
 
 To use a particular branch, add:
 
       deploy.branch = "some-other-branch-name"
 
-Default is `gh-pages`. Run `git branch -a` to see a list of possible
-branches.
+Default is `gh-pages`. If the branch doesn't exist remote, it will be created
+for you.
