+Tucker's Dotfiles
+=================
+
+These dotfiles are here mostly move them  between my computers and 
+as a backup, but feel free to use them yourself.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+.. note :: 
+  I recommend backing up any existing dotfiles you have before
+  installing these, you can do this with the following command
+  :code:`cp .dotfile_to_backup .dotfile_to_backup.bak`
+
+
+I recomend using `stow <https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/>`_ to
+manage these files. This can be done with the following commands.
+
+1.  :code:`cd ~`
+2.  :code:`git clone https://github/tuckerevans/dotfiles`
+3.  :code:`cd dotfiles`
+4.  Run :code:`stow [program]` for each program's dotfiles you want to use
+
+      *Example:* :code:`stow vim` or :code:`stow mutt`
