+# Will St. Clair dotfiles
+
+These are my dotfiles, with the rake install task adapted from [Ryan Bates](http://github.com/rbates/dotfiles).
+
+## Installation
+
+    git clone git://github.com/wsc/dotfiles ~/code/dotfiles
+    cd ~/code/dotfiles
+    rake install
+
+## Don't use these
+
+These are designed for my Chef configuration so they will overwrite your existing ones without asking.
