Clarify README first-backup instructions #65

@fdaviddpt

Description

@fdaviddpt

Follow-up from #60.

In the "Back up your memory" section, the README shows:

git add .gitignore config.json

A first-time user runs this, pushes, and finds no memory in the backup repo — because slug directories aren't tracked until the hook runs after the next /remember invocation.

Proposal: add a one-liner clarifying that:

  • The initial commit only sets up .gitignore and config.json
  • Slug directories get added automatically by the backup hook on next save
  • To verify backup is working, run /remember once and check git log in ~/.remember/

Optional: include git add <slug>/ in the snippet explicitly if there's already memory to commit.
