+## Example Config
+
+The following config maps `-` to the file browser, disables `netrw`, and automatically opens the file browser when you launch nvim with a directory as the file argument.
+
+```lua
+-- add keybinding
+vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '-',
+  '<cmd>lua require("telescope").extensions.vinegar.file_browser()<cr>',
+  {noremap = true})
+
+-- disable netrw
+vim.g['loaded_netrw'] = 1
+
+-- create function to open file browser when opening a directory
+_G.browse_if_dir = function()
+  if require('plenary.path'):new(vim.fn.expand('%:p')):is_dir() then
+    local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
