+### Docker
+
+This directory contains few simple scripts to simplify docker workflow in nushell
+
+### Deployment
+
+source the scripts in startup section of your `config.toml` file
+
+### Usage
+* docker.nu - Wrapper around regular docker command, returns a formatted nushell table
+* compose.nu - Finds compose files of all running containers and then stops them via `docker-compose down`
+
+### Notes
+* Both commands assume the user is a mamber of `docker` group, if that is not the case prepend the commands with `sudo`
+
+* docker.nu should be sourced before compose.nu in your `config.toml` file as the latter uses the former
