Example usage

Why would I use this instead of docker-compose? What would that look like?

[brhahlen]

So, for docker-compose (or docker-compose) you would have to go to the directory that the docker-compose.yml file is in and run the commands from there.
With dc, you can run commands from wherever you are on the prompt.

So, for instance, you could run dc restart nginx and dc would restart the nginx container like that.

Does that help?

Ah... Yes, that sounds awesome!

How does it know where the docker-compose.yml file is located?

[brhahlen]

When installing, you specify a DC_DIR variable, which is stored in your .bashrc
The DC_DIR contains subdirectories (stacks) with the different docker-compose.yml files

For instance:
<DC_DIR>/1-backends/docker-compose.yml
<DC_DIR>2-system/docker-compose.yml

Makes sense?

Ah... Yes, thank you for explaining.

If alright with you, I'll close this issue.
I've created a new issue (#44) for this.
