+Place to keep my .dotfiles so I do not have to worry about migrating to another system.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+$ bash bootstrap.sh -h                                                                                                                            
+
+Applies all settings stored in the script's directory to your home directory
+
+Usage: bootstrap.sh [-q|--quiet] [-l|--create-links]
+  -q,     --quiet              No screen outputs
+  -l,     --create-links       Creates soft-links to files in the current directory instead of copying them
+
+Example: bash ./bootstrap.sh -q --create-links
+```
+
+## Why `--create-links`?
+
+I have multiple Linux installations on my machine. Linking it from one place (this repository) keeps things tidy. Also, changes to dotfiles automatically get applied to all the distros.
