 This step will be missing a lot of output just so that we can focus on the results and where we source building a local source git tree.

+#### Build Local Git Tree: Remotes
+If you're doing novel development here you can skip this step.  However most people are going to be cherry-picking patches from Linus's Mainline at Kernel.org, or another remote, so you'll need to add them here to preform the cherry-picks.
+
+Example is just fro adding the Linus kernel.org mainline.
+```
+git remote add Linux-Mainline https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

+#### Rebuild Local Repo with patches existing in the `dist-git` SPEC and SOURCES/
+NOTE: You'll want to make sure you're looking at the correct spec file for the major verions you're working with, this will be in the path.
+
+In the below example you'll see that `r8` is in the patch of dist-git from the `srpmproc` run.

 ### Commit locally and rerun `srpmproc`
-As of 2024.01.29 `srpmproc` cannot work off dev branches so this code will need to be on the main `r<version>` branch.  Once this is done re-running `srpmproc` using the above script or exact same command parameters used when creating the local `srpmproc` will use the new local HEAD.
+NOTE: As of 2024.01.29 `srpmproc` cannot work off dev branches so this code will need to be on the main `r<version>` branch.
+
+`srpmproc` will only refernce code that is actually in the git repo, a little contrary to how traditional development works.
+This requires that both the large monolithic patch and the `directives.cfg` file changes need to be commited for `srpmproc` to actually pick them up.
