Also fixes #360, because we resolve all tags/versions now
by default.

+
+`ghcup` is very portable. There are a few exceptions though:

+## Env variables
+
+This is the complete list of env variables that change GHCup behavior:
+
+* `GHCUP_USE_XDG_DIRS`: see [XDG support](#xdg-support) above
+* `TMPDIR`: where ghcup does the work (unpacking, building, ...)
+* `GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX`: the base of ghcup (default: `$HOME`)
+* `GHCUP_CURL_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to curl
+* `GHCUP_WGET_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to wget
+* `GHCUP_GPG_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to gpg
+* `GHCUP_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK`: Skip the (possibly annoying) update check when you run a command
+* `CC`/`LD` etc.: full environment is passed to the build system when compiling GHC via GHCup
+
+### XDG support
+
+To enable XDG style directories, set the environment variable `GHCUP_USE_XDG_DIRS` to anything.
+
+Then you can control the locations via XDG environment variables as such:
+
+* `XDG_DATA_HOME`: GHCs will be unpacked in `ghcup/ghc` subdir (default: `~/.local/share`)
+* `XDG_CACHE_HOME`: logs and download files will be stored in `ghcup` subdir (default: `~/.cache`)
+* `XDG_BIN_HOME`: binaries end up here (default: `~/.local/bin`)
+* `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`: the config file is stored in `ghcup` subdir as `config.yaml` (default: `~/.config`)
+
+**Note that `ghcup` makes some assumptions about structure of files in `XDG_BIN_HOME`. So if you have other tools
+installing e.g. stack/cabal/ghc into it, this will likely clash. In that case consider disabling XDG support.**

+## Metadata
+
+The metadata are the files that describe tool versions, where to download them etc. and
+can be viewed here: [https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata](https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata)
+
+### Mirrors
+
+GHCup allows to use custom mirrors/download-info hosted by yourself or 3rd parties.
+
+To use a mirror, set the following option in `~/.ghcup/config.yaml`:
+
+```yml
+url-source:
+  # Accepts file/http/https scheme
+  OwnSource: "https://some-url/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml"
+```
+
+See [config.yaml](https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/ghcup-hs/-/blob/master/data/config.yaml)
+for more options.
+
+Alternatively you can do it via a cli switch:
+
+```sh
+ghcup --url-source=https://some-url/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml list
+```
+
+#### Known mirrors
+
+1. [https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/docs/ghcup](https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/docs/ghcup)
+
+### (Pre-)Release channels
+
+A release channel is basically just a metadata file location. You can add additional release
+channels that complement the default one, such as the **prerelease channel** like so:
+
+```sh
+ghcup config add-release-channel https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-prereleases-0.0.7.yaml
+```
+
+This will result in `~/.ghcup/config.yaml` to contain this record:
+
+```yml
+url-source:
+  AddSource:
+  - Right: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-prereleases-0.0.7.yaml
+```
+
+You can add as many channels as you like. They are combined under *Last*, so versions from the prerelease channel
+here overwrite the default ones, if any.
+
+To remove the channel, delete the entire `url-source` section or set it back to the default:
+
+```yml
+url-source:
+  GHCupURL: []
+```
+
+If you want to combine your release channel with a mirror, you'd do it like so:
+
+```yml
+url-source:
+  OwnSource:
+  # base metadata
+  - "https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/ghcup/yaml/ghcup/data/ghcup-0.0.6.yaml"
+  # prerelease channel
+  - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/master/ghcup-prereleases-0.0.7.yaml"
+```

+
+Since the version parser is pretty lax, `8.10.2-eff` and `head` are both valid versions
+and produce the binaries `ghc-8.10.2-eff` and `ghc-head` respectively.
+GHCup always needs to know which version the bindist corresponds to (this is not automatically

-## XDG support
-
-To enable XDG style directories, set the environment variable `GHCUP_USE_XDG_DIRS` to anything.
-
-Then you can control the locations via XDG environment variables as such:
-
-* `XDG_DATA_HOME`: GHCs will be unpacked in `ghcup/ghc` subdir (default: `~/.local/share`)
-* `XDG_CACHE_HOME`: logs and download files will be stored in `ghcup` subdir (default: `~/.cache`)
-* `XDG_BIN_HOME`: binaries end up here (default: `~/.local/bin`)
-* `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`: the config file is stored in `ghcup` subdir as `config.yaml` (default: `~/.config`)
-
-**Note that `ghcup` makes some assumptions about structure of files in `XDG_BIN_HOME`. So if you have other tools
-installing e.g. stack/cabal/ghc into it, this will likely clash. In that case consider disabling XDG support.**
-
-## Env variables
-
-This is the complete list of env variables that change GHCup behavior:
-
-* `GHCUP_USE_XDG_DIRS`: see [XDG support](#xdg-support) above
-* `TMPDIR`: where ghcup does the work (unpacking, building, ...)
-* `GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX`: the base of ghcup (default: `$HOME`)
-* `GHCUP_CURL_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to curl
-* `GHCUP_WGET_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to wget
-* `GHCUP_GPG_OPTS`: additional options that can be passed to gpg
-* `GHCUP_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK`: Skip the (possibly annoying) update check when you run a command
-* `CC`/`LD` etc.: full environment is passed to the build system when compiling GHC via GHCup

+# First steps
+
+In this guide we'll take a look at a few core tools that are installed
+with the Haskell toolchain, namely, `ghc`, `runghc` and `ghci`.
+These tools can be used to compile, interpret or explore Haskell programs.
+
+First, let's start by opening your system's command line interface
+and running `ghc --version` to make sure we have successfully
+installed a Haskell toolchain:
+
+```
+➜ ghc --version
+The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.10.7
+```
+
+If this fails, consult [the Getting started page](../install) for information on
+how to install Haskell on your computer.
+
+This guide is partly based on [Gil Mizrahi's blog](https://gilmi.me/blog/post/2021/08/14/hs-core-tools).
+
+## Compiling programs with ghc
+
+Running `ghc` invokes the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), and can be used to
+compile Haskell modules and programs into native executables and libraries.
+
+Create a new Haskell source file named `hello.hs`,
+and write the following code in it:
+
+```hs
+main = putStrLn "Hello, Haskell!"
+```
+
+Now, we can compile the program by invoking `ghc` with the file name:
+
+```sh
+➜ ghc hello.hs
+[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( hello.hs, hello.o )
+Linking hello ...
+```
+
+For more in-depth information about the files `ghc` produces,
+follow the [GHC user guide](https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/using.html#getting-started-compiling-programs) guide.
+
+Now we run our program:
+
+```sh
+➜ ./hello 
+Hello, Haskell!
+```
+
+Alternatively, we can skip the compilation phase by using the command `runghc`:
+
+```sh
+➜ runghc hello.hs
+Hello, Haskell!
+```
+
+`runghc` interprets the source file instead of compiling it and does not
+create build artifacts. This makes it very useful when developing programs
+and can help accelerate the feedback loop. More information about `runghc`
+can be found in the
+[GHC user guide](https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/runghc.html).
+
+### Turning on warnings
+
+The `-Wall` flag will enable GHC to emit warnings about our code.
+
+```sh
+➜ ghc -Wall hello.hs -fforce-recomp
+[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( hello.hs, hello.o )
+
+hello.hs:1:1: warning: [-Wmissing-signatures]
+    Top-level binding with no type signature: main :: IO ()
+  |
+1 | main = putStrLn "Hello, Haskell!"
+  | ^^^^
+Linking hello ...
+```
+
+While Haskell can infer
+the types of most expressions, it is recommended that top-level definitions
+are annotated with their types.
+
+Now our `hello.hs` source file should looks like this:
+
+```hs
+main :: IO ()
+main = putStrLn "Hello, world!"
+```
+
+And now GHC will compile `hello.hs` without warnings.
+
+## An interactive environment
+
+GHC provides an interactive environment in a form of a
+Read-Evaluate-Print Loop (REPL) called GHCi.
+To enter the environment run the program `ghci`.
+
+```sh
+➜ ghci
+GHCi, version 9.0.2: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
+ghci> 
+```
+
+It provides an interactive prompt where Haskell expressions can be written and
+evaluated.
+
+For example:
+
+```sh
+ghci> 1 + 1
+2
+ghci> putStrLn "Hello, world!"
+Hello, world!
+```
+
+We can define new names:
+
+```sh
+ghci> double x = x + x
+ghci> double 2
+4
+```
+
+We can write multi-line code by surrounding it with `:{` and `:}`:
+
+```hs
+ghci> :{
+| map f list =
+|     case list of
+|         [] -> []
+|         x : xs -> f x : map f xs
+| :}
+ghci> map (+1) [1, 2, 3]
+[2,3,4]
+
+```
+
+We can import Haskell source files using the `:load` command (`:l` for short):
+
+```sh
+ghci> :load hello.hs
+[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( hello.hs, interpreted )
+Ok, one module loaded.
+ghci> main
+Hello, Haskell!
+```
+
+As well as import library modules:
+
+```sh
+ghci> import Data.Bits
+ghci> shiftL 32 1
+64
+ghci> clearBit 33 0
+32
+```
+
+We can even ask what the type of an expression is using the `:type` command
+(`:t` for short):
+
+```sh
+λ> :type putStrLn
+putStrLn :: String -> IO ()
+```
+
+To exit `ghci`, use the `:quit` command (or `:q` for short)
+
+```sh
+ghci> :quit
+Leaving GHCi.
+```
+
+A more thorough introduction to GHCi can be found in the
+[GHC user guide](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/ghci.html).
+
+### Using external packages in ghci
+
+By default, GHCi can only load and use packages that are
+[included with the GHC installation](https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/9.2.2-notes.html#included-libraries).
+
+However, users of the [cabal-install](https://www.haskell.org/cabal) and
+[stack](http://haskellstack.org) build tools can download and load external packages
+very easily using the following commands:
+
+cabal-install:
+
+```sh
+cabal repl --build-depends async,say
+```
+
+Stack:
+
+```sh
+stack exec --package async --package say -- ghci
+```
+
+And the modules of the relevant packages will be available for import:
+
+```sh
+GHCi, version 9.0.1: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
+ghci> import Control.Concurrent.Async 
+ghci> import Say
+ghci> concurrently_ (sayString "Hello") (sayString "World")
+Hello
+World
+```
+
+Stack users can also use this feature with `runghc` and `ghc` by replacing
+`ghci` in the command above, and cabal-install users can generate an
+environment file that will make `async` and `say` visible for GHC tools
+in the current directory using this command:
+
+```sh
+cabal install --lib async say --package-env .
+```
+
+Many more packages are waiting for you on [Hackage](https://hackage.haskell.org).
+
+## Creating a proper package with modules
+
+The previous methods to compile Haskell code are for quick experiments and small
+programs. Usually in Haskell, we create cabal projects, where build tools such as
+`cabal-install` or `stack` will install necessary dependencies and compile modules
+in correct order. For simplicity's sake, this section will only use `cabal-install`.
+
+To get started, run:
+
+```sh
+mkdir haskell-project
+cd haskell-project
+cabal init --interactive
+```
+
+If you let it generate a simple project with sensible defaults, then you should have these files:
+
+* `src/MyLib.hs`: the library module of your project
+* `app/Main.hs`: the entry point of your project
+* `haskell-project.cabal`: the "cabal" file, describing your project, its dependencies and how it's built
+
+To build the project, run:
+
+```sh
+cabal build
+```
+
+To run the main executable, run:
+
+```sh
+➜ cabal run
+Hello, Haskell!
+someFunc
+```
+
+### Adding dependencies
+
+Now let's add a dependency and adjust our library module. Open `haskell-project.cabal`
+and find the library section:
+
+```
+library
+    exposed-modules:  MyLib
+
+    -- Modules included in this library but not exported.
+    -- other-modules:
+
+    -- LANGUAGE extensions used by modules in this package.
+    -- other-extensions:
+    build-depends:    base ^>=4.14.3.0
+    hs-source-dirs:   src
+    default-language: Haskell2010
+```
+
+The interesting parts here are `exposed-modules` and `build-depends`.
+To add a dependency, it should look like this:
+
+```
+    build-depends:    base ^>=4.14.3.0
+	                , directory
+```
+
+Now open `src/MyLib.hs` and change it to:
+
+```hs
+module MyLib (someFunc) where
+
+import System.Directory
+
+someFunc :: IO ()
+someFunc = do
+  contents <- listDirectory "src"
+  putStrLn (show contents)
+```
+
+### Adding modules
+
+To add a module to your package, adjust `exposed-modules`, like so
+
+```
+    exposed-modules:  MyLib
+	                  OtherLib
+```
+
+then create `src/OtherLib.hs` with the following contents:
+
+```hs
+module OtherLib where
+
+otherFunc :: String -> Int
+otherFunc str = length str
+```
+
+To use this function interactively, we can run:
+
+```sh
+➜ cabal repl
+ghci> import OtherLib
+ghci> otherFunc "Hello Haskell"
+13
+```

+## How to learn Haskell proper
+
+To learn Haskell, try any of those:
+
+- A beginner friendly [4-lectures course](https://github.com/haskell-beginners-2022/course-plan) with exercises (by [Kowainik](https://kowainik.github.io/))
+- An in-depth university [CIS 194 Haskell course](https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/) including exercises (by [Brent Yorgey](https://byorgey.wordpress.com/))
