+You can easily access the WordPress/PHP container with `docker-compose exec:
 
 ```
-alias dcbash='docker-compose exec --user root phpfpm bash'
+docker-compose exec --user root phpfpm bash

-This alias lets you run `dcbash` to SSH into the PHP/WordPress container.

 Alternatively, there is a script in the `/bin` directory that allows you to SSH in to the environment from the project directory directly: `./bin/ssh`.
 
+## Useful Bash Aliases
+
+To increase efficiency with WP Local Docker, the following bash aliases can be added `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile`:
+
+1. WP-CLI:
+    ```bash
+    alias dcwp='docker-compose exec --user www-data phpfpm wp'
+    ```
+2. SSH into container:
+    ```bash
+    alias dcbash='docker-compose exec --user root phpfpm bash'
+    ```
+3. Multiple instances cannot be run simultaneously. In order to switch projects, you'll need to kill all Docker containers first: 
+    ```bash
+    docker-stop() { docker stop $(docker ps -a -q); }
+    ```
+4. Combine the stop-all command with `docker-compose up` to easily start up an instance with one command: 
+    ```bash
+    alias dup="docker-stop && docker-compose up -d"
+    ```

 ## MailCatcher
 
 MailCatcher runs a simple local SMTP server which catches any message sent to it, and displays it in its built-in web interface. All emails sent by WordPress will be intercepted by MailCatcher. To view emails in the MailCatcher web interface, navigate to `http://localhost:1080` in your web browser of choice.
