Installing git-flow
-------------------
+The easiest way to install git-flow is using Rick Osborne's excellent
+git-flow installer, which can be run using the following command:
+
+ $ wget -q -O - http://github.com/nvie/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | sudo sh
+
+If you prefer a manual installation, please use the following instructions.
After downloading the sources from Github, also fetch the submodules:
$ git submodule init
diff --git a/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh b/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh
