     vcsh vim commit -m 'Initial commit of my Vim configuration'
     # optionally push your files to a remote
     vcsh vim remote add origin <remote>
-    vcsh vim push origin master:master
-    vcsh vim branch --track master origin/master
+    vcsh vim push -u origin master
+    # from now on you can push additional commits like this
+    vcsh vim push
