+# Bash it
+
+Bash it is a mash up of my own bash commands and scripts, other bash stuff I have found and a shameless ripoff of oh-my-zsh. :) 
+
+From what I remember, I've incorporated things I have found from the following:
+
+* oh-my-zsh   (http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh)
+* Steve Losh  (http://stevelosh.com/)
+
+Includes some autocompletion tools, theming support, aliases, custom functions, and more.
+
+## Install
+
+Check a clone of this repo. You can view what a sample ~/.bash\_profile looks like in template/bash\_profile.bash-template. If you wanted to use that template, make sure to make a backup of your current ~/.bash\_profile file.
+
+<pre><code>
+git clone http://github.com/revans/bash-it.git
+
+cp ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile_original
+cp template/bash_profile.bash-template ~/.bash_profile
+</code></pre>
+
+## Themes
+
+Currently, there is only 1 theme, bobby. There is a base.bash that includes various colors that can then be used to create custom themes. There is support for git in the prompt: showing what branch you're on, if you've committed locally or not, etc. I'm working on adding mercurial support as well.
+
+## Help out!
+
+Just like oh-my-zsh, bash it is meant for the community. If you have things to add, want to add a theme, etc. please fork this project and send me a pull request.
