+
+## Installing for Developers
+
+The `tide_install` function offers a few flags. `-d` will install Tide as a developer which provides extra files for testing. `-l` will install Tide from a local directory. When installing remotely, `tide_install` takes a branch name as an argument, defaulting to master.
+
+Examples:
+
+```fish
+tide_install -d example-branch
+```
+
+```fish
+tide_install -ld ~/tide
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The `tide_test` command runs tests from the `$__fish_config_dir/tests` folder using [fishtape](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fishtape). Currently there are unit tests for most prompt items.
+
+Example:
+
+```fish
+tide_test status
+```
+
