-After that if you have `docker` and `make` installed you can simply use the
-following Makefile commands to start running the project.
-
-```bash
-$ make build
-$ make up
-$ make enter
-$ make down
-$ make clean
-```
-
-- build: Build the docker container

+You will be asked for a project name as well a a docker user. The project name
+can be what ever you want and the docker user will be the prefix you use for
+your images on dockerhub. E.g. My docker images are usually `thornycrackers/proj`
+so I would use `thornycrackers`. After that you will have a new project setup
+that includes a preset `docker-compose.yml` with a simple `Dockerfile` and a
+`Makefile` that will automate controlling the container. The following commands
+work out of the box.
+
+`make build` - Build your `docker_user/proj_name` image
+`make up` - Spin up your container and forwards port 8000 by default and mounts local file
+`make enter` - Open a bash terminal in the container
+`make down` - Stop the container
+`make clean` - Remove the stopped container
