7+# docker-machine plugin for oh my zsh
8+
9+### Usage
10+
11+#### docker-vm
12+Will create a docker-machine with the name "dev" (required only once)
13+To create a second machine call "docker-vm foobar" or pass any other name
14+
15+#### docker-up
16+This will start your "dev" docker-machine (if necessary) and set it as the active one
17+To start a named machine use "docker-up foobar"
18+
19+#### docker-switch dev
20+Use this to activate a running docker-machine (or to switch between multiple machines)
21+You need to call either this or docker-up when opening a new terminal
22+
23+#### docker-stop
24+This will stop your "dev" docker-machine
25+To stop a named machine use "docker-stop foobar"
