+# Composer
+
+A simple C program to make managing several docker-compose files easier.
+
+## Usage/Examples
+
+Composer finds your `docker-compose.yaml` file as well as any `docker-compose.*.yaml` files and passes them to `docker-compose`.
+
+`composer up -d` and `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml [-f docker-compose.*.yaml] up -d` are equivalent.
+
+## Deployment
+
+To deploy this project run `sudo make install`. This will compile and install the composer binary. You can then run any docker-compose command with composer.
+  
+## Environment Variables
+
+Composer passes the current environment to docker-compose when run. As such, you can run `COMPOSE_VARIABLE=value composer` and expect the same behavior as `COMPOSE_VARIABLE=value docker-compose`.
