 ## Usage
 
-**Gemfile**
+Add `rubocop-github` to your Gemfile, along with its dependencies:
 
-``` ruby
-gem "rubocop-github"
-gem "rubocop-performance", require: false
-gem "rubocop-rails", require: false
-```
+  ```ruby
+  gem "rubocop-github", require: false
+  gem "rubocop-performance", require: false
+  gem "rubocop-rails", require: false
+  ```
 
-**.rubocop.yml**
+Inherit all of the stylistic rules and cops through an inheritance declaration in your `.rubocop.yml`:
 
-``` yaml
-inherit_gem:
-  rubocop-github:
-    - config/default.yml
-    - config/rails.yml
-```
+  ```yaml
+  # .rubocop.yml
+  inherit_from:
+    rubocop-github:
+      - config/default.yml # generic Ruby rules and cops
+      - config/rails.yml # Rails-specific rules and cops
+  ```
+
+Alternatively, only require the additional custom cops in your `.rubocop.yml` without inheriting/enabling the other stylistic rules:
+
+  ```yaml
+  # .rubocop.yml
+  require:
+    - rubocop-github  # generic Ruby cops only
+    - rubocop-github-rails # Rails-specific cops only
+  ```
