+## Build:
+
+```sh
+go run . -a
+```
+
+## Upload:
+
+```sh
+go run . --upload -c --upload-path=./mozilla-central/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin
+```
+
+## Build and upload:
+
+```sh
+go run . --upload -c --upload-path=./mozilla-central/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin -a
+```
+
+## Display all flags:
+
+```sh
+go run . -h
+```
+
+### Config file for uploading example:
+
+*sourceforge_config.json*
