+### How to extend the dataset
+
+1. Find an interesting repo and commit
+2. add to snapshot.json the data:
+    ``` json
+    "{commit_hash}{any_padding_hex_symbols_to_64}": "https://github.com/org/repo",
+    ```
+3. run download_data.py twice (first - a meta file will be created, second - all files from the commit will be downloaded)
+4. run CredSweeper for the downloaded data to obtain a report (preferred with ``--ml_threshold 0`` argument)
+5. run benchmark for the report with ``--fix`` option - all found values will be inserted into meta
+6. review, correct markup if necessary, produce empty benchmark report for CI, commit the changes
+
+
 ### How to run
 ``` bash
 usage: python -m benchmark [-h] --scanner [SCANNER]
