 The execution cycle can be set by configuring `timer.service` using systemd conventions. The settings default to executing every ten minutes on the hour.
 
+Repositories that are to be archived must be cloned into the "repositories" directory while `grs.sh` is not running a cycle. The safest way to do this is by:
+    1. Executing `systemctl stop grs.timer`
+    2. Executing `watch -c "systemctl status grs.service"` to confirm that `grs.sh` is inactive.
+    3. Cloning a git repository into the `repositories` directory.
+            Example:
+                1. `cd repositories`
+                2. `git clone --recursive https://git.mgoder.com/mg/GitRepositorySynchronizerV1.git`
+    4. Executing `systemctl start grs.timer`
+
 NOTE:
     The reasoning behind the usage of "v1" is due to it being possible to develop a better solution using a C++ compiler that reduces the strain on the storage medium and cuts the storage footprint in half by using system memory as a temporary cache to compare the pulled git changes instead of having the previous snapshot always in storage.
