-Read this page first:
+# CREATE A NEW AZEROTHCORE MODULE
+
+1) Read this page first:
 
 https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/wiki/Create-a-Module
 
 
-Then, start by cloning our skeleton-module: https://github.com/azerothcore/skeleton-module/
-Always clone it because we update it regularly
+2) Run the script `create_module.sh`:
+- If you're on windows, execute it with Git Bash (right click on it and choose Git bash) if you have installed Git extensions
+- If you're on linux, just run it with bash or with ./create_module.sh
+
+This script will create the base of your module, with a clean history and add a git configuration option to this repository only (local config).
+
+
+NOTE: You can also clone our skeleton-module manually, clean the history, and configure but you should use the script instead https://github.com/azerothcore/skeleton-module/
+
+
+3) Share it with the community!
+
+Join us on our discord, share it there, then we might fork it officially and it will appear in the module catalogue.
