-# Continue
+</div>
 
-Continue is the open-source autopilot for software developers. Using our SDK you can write short scripts, called recipes, that automate sequences of tasks that are common within your codebase. This repository contains:
+## Getting Started
 
-- The Continue Python package, which offers an SDK to write recipes and the Continue server, which runs all automations
-- The Continue VSCode extension, where you can natively run recipes and use natural language to refine code much faster
+### GitHub Codespaces
 
-**[Read the docs](https://continuedev.netlify.app/)**
+Learn how to try the GitHub Codespaces Demo [here](https://continue.dev/docs/getting-started)
 
-# Getting Started
+### VS Code
 
-The easiest way to start using Continue is to download our VS Code extension from the marketplace:
+Learn how to install locally in VS Code [here](https://continue.dev/docs/install)
 
-[Download for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue)
+## Walkthroughs
 
-Alternatively, you can build from source. Just clone the repo and run a Python script:
+- [Use the GUI](https://continue.dev/walkthroughs/use-the-gui.md)
+- [Use a recipe](https://continue.dev/walkthroughs/use-a-recipe.md)
+- [Create a recipe](https://continue.dev/walkthroughs/create-a-recipe.md)
+- [Share a recipe](https://continue.dev/walkthroughs/share-a-recipe.md)
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/continuedev/continue && cd continue/extension/scripts && python3 install_from_source.py
-```
+## How to contribute
 
-# Writing Recipes
+### Option 1: Create a recipe and share it with the community
 
-Check out the [recipes folder](https://github.com/continuedev/continue/tree/main/continuedev/src/continuedev/recipes) to learn how to write your own.
+Follow [these steps](https://continue.dev/walkthroughs/share-a-recipe.md) to share a recipe you have created :)
 
-# Contributing
+### Option 2: Open a [new GitHub Issue](https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/new) or comment on [an existing one](https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues)
 
-Please do! The easiest way to start contributing is by writing recipes, but PRs/suggestions of all kinds are welcome : )
+Let us know what you would like to contribute and we will help you make it happen!
