 ======The Ini File======
+This section explains how to configure the gitwinch.ini file settings before launching the Git Winch application. All these settings are stored in the application's gitwinch.ini file.
+**Understanding the ini file**
+The ini file contains several lines which has the following format:
+<name>=<value>
+i.e. you will see a name of the setting (one word), an equals-to sign and a value after that.
+Do NOT change the name. That is important. You can only change the values //after// the equals-to sign.\
+These //setting// lines are gathered into various sections. Each section name (one word) is inside square brackets. Do NOT change the names of the sections.
+**Configuration Steps**
+  * Close //Git Winch// if it was running
+  * Locate the //Git Winch// gitwinch.ini file in the application folder
