 ### Create a Repo
-You can quickly create an S3 backed repo using the `createRepo` convenience function.
 
-```js
-const IPFS = require('ipfs')
-const { createRepo } = require('datastore-s3')
-
-const ipfs = new IPFS({
-  repo: createRepo({
-    path: '/my/ipfs'
-  }, {
-    bucket: 'MyS3Bucket'
-  })
-})
-```
+See [examples/full-s3-repo](./examples/full-s3-repo) for how to quickly create an S3 backed repo using the `createRepo` convenience function.
 
 ### Examples
 You can see examples of S3 backed ipfs in the [examples folder](examples/)
