 # 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](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh). :)
+**Bash it** is a mash up of my own bash commands and scripts, other bash stuff I have found.

 ## Install
 
-Check a clone of this repo:
+1. Check a clone of this repo: `git clone http://github.com/revans/bash-it.git bash_it`
+2. Run `install.sh` (it automatically backs up your `~/.bash_profile`)
+3. Move `~/.bash_it/template/bash_profile.template.bash` into its place. (Edit this template file in order to customize bash-it.)
 
-	git clone http://github.com/revans/bash-it.git bash_it
-
-Then run the `install.sh` file, it will backup your `~/.bash_profile`
-file and move the template one into it's place (the template file is at
-`~/.bash_it/template/bash_profile.template.bash`). Be sure to edit this
-template file in order to customize bash-it.
-
-The install script will also prompt
-you asking if you use [Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll). This
-is to set up the `.jekyllconfig` file, the file that stores the
-information needed to use the Jekyll plugin supplied with bash it.

 ## Themes
 
-There are a few bash it themes, but I'm hoping the community will jump in and create their own custom prompts and share their creations with everyone else by submitting a pull request to me (revans).
+There are a few bash it themes.  If you've created your own custom prompts, I'd love it if you shared with everyone else!  Just submit a Pull Request to me (revans).
 
 ## Help out
 
-I think all of us have our own custom scripts that we have added over time and so following in the footsteps of oh-my-zsh, bash it was created as a framework for those who choose to use bash as their shell. As a community, I'm excited to see what everyone else has in their custom toolbox and am hoping that they'll share it with everyone by submitting a pull request to bash it.
+I think everyone has their own custom scripts accumulated over time.  And so, following in the footsteps of oh-my-zsh, bash it is a framework for easily customizing your bash shell. Everyone's got a custom toolbox, so let's start making them even better, **as a community!**
 
-So, if you have contributions to bash it, please send me a pull request and I'll take a look at it and commit it to the repo as long as it looks good. If you do change an existing command, please give an explanation as to why. That will help a lot when I merge your changes in. Thanks, and happing bashing!
