 Developing the Shell App

-Building You Own Shell
-......................
+Create a Dev Shell
+------------------
+#. ``clone`` the OOD repo into: ``cd ~/ondemand/misc`` then ``git clone git@github.com:OSC/ondemand.git``
+#. Work out of the ``dev`` directory/space: ``cd ~/ondemand/dev/``.
+#. Symlink to the ``shell`` app in the cloned repo: ``ln -s ../misc/ondemand/apps/dashboard/shell/ shell``
+#. Make a branch and to begin word on your dev dashboard: ``git checkout -b dev_work`` 
+#. Rebuild the ``shell`` app:  ``bin/setup``.
+#. Navigate to the Sandbox and launch your dev ``shell`` app to use the ``dev_work`` branch.
 
-#. pull down ondemand in ``cd ~/ondemand/misc`` then ``git clone git@github.com:OSC/ondemand.git``
-#. ``cd ~/ondemand/dev/``
-#. create the symlink for your shell app: ``ln -s ../misc/ondemand/apps/dashboard/shell/ dev_shell``
-#. run ``git checkout -b your_branch`` 
-#. now make a branch with your changes and use ``bin/setup`` to rebuild if needed
-#. navigate to the Sandbox and launch your ``dev_shell`` app

+At this point we have a working dev ``shell`` and can start to make changes to this code and issue rebuilds
