 1. `terraform_docs` and `terraform_docs_without_aggregate_type_defaults` will insert/update documentation generated by [terraform-docs](https://github.com/segmentio/terraform-docs) between markers - `<!-- BEGINNING OF PRE-COMMIT-TERRAFORM DOCS HOOK -->` and `<!-- END OF PRE-COMMIT-TERRAFORM DOCS HOOK -->` if they are present in `README.md`. Make sure that `terraform-docs` is installed.
 
+1. `terraform_docs_replace` replaces the entire README.md rather than doing string replacement between markers. Put your additional documentation at the top of your `main.tf` for it to be pulled in. The optional `--dest` argument lets you change the name of the file that gets created/modified.
+
+    1. Example:
+    ```yaml
+    hooks:
+      - id: terraform_docs_replace
+        args: ['--with-aggregate-type-defaults', '--sort-inputs-by-required', '--dest=TEST.md']
+    ```
+
 1. It is possible to pass additional arguments to shell scripts when using `terraform_docs` and `terraform_docs_without_aggregate_type_defaults`. Send pull-request with the new hook if there is something missing.
 
+## Notes for developers
+
+1. Python hooks are supported now too. All you have to do is:
+    1. add a line to the `console_sripts` array in `entry_points` in `setup.py`
+    1. Put your python script in the `pre_commit_hooks` folder
+
 Enjoy the clean and documented code!
