+**You should never commit dumped assets to a git repository. This will get you in severe legal trouble!**
+
+If you tried to commit an asset and were sent to this page, please read it carefully.
+
+# The asset stack
+
+Instead, configure supports a feature we call the "asset stack".
+
+For example, say we wanted to override the asset `assets/us/bgm/Angry_Bowser_67.bin`.
+We can do this by:
+1. Modifying `ver/us/splat.yaml`'s `asset_stack` field to add "override" above "us":
+```diff
+ asset_stack:
++  - override
+   - us
+```
+2. Placing our replacement asset for the Angry Bowser song at `assets/override/bgm/Angry_Bowser_67.bin`.
+
+The `assets/override/` directory won't be gitignored, so you can commit it as normal.
+This enables you to modify assets without committing any dumped assets.
+
+You can even have more folders in the asset stacks for different 'features' of a mod, for example:
+```
+asset_stack:
+  - cool_texture_pack
+  - red_goombario
+  - us
+```
+This will use assets from `assets/cool_texture_pack/...`, then, if an asset can't be found there, it will fall back to `red_goombario`, and then finally vanilla assets will be used.
