 # dnuke
-Ruby script for conveniently nuking Docker containers and volumes by project name
+Ruby script for conveniently nuking Docker containers and volumes by name
+
+### Usage
+Pass the name(s) of your containers / volumes to dnuke:
+
+`dnuke project1`
+
+Your output should look something like this:
+
+```bash
+$ dnuke project1
+
+I, the mighty dnuke, was passed: project1
+
+removing containers that match: project1
+container a0123456789b was removed
+container b9876543210a was removed
+
+removing volumes that match: project1
+volume project1_postgres was removed
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+```
+
+You can pass multiple container / volume names as arguments:
+
+```bash
+$ dnuke project1 project2
+
+I, the mighty dnuke, was passed: project1
+
+removing containers that match: project1
+container a0123456789b was removed
+container b9876543210a was removed
+
+removing volumes that match: project1
+volume project1_postgres was removed
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I, the mighty dnuke, was passed: project2
+
+removing containers that match: project2
+container b9876543210a was removed
+container a0123456789b was removed
+
+removing volumes that match: project2
+volume project2_postgres was removed
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+```
+
+dnuke uses fuzzy matching when searching your local Docker containers and volumes:
+
+```bash
+$ dnuke cat
+
+I, the mighty dnuke, was passed: cat
+
+...
+
+removing volumes that match: cat
+volume caterpillar_postgres was removed
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+```
