+# Terminal Here
+
+An Emacs package to help open external terminal emulators in the directory of the current buffer.
+
+## Usage
+
+Currently not on Melpa, so grab the elisp file, put it in your path and require
+it. Hopefully it will be soon.
+
+<!-- `M-x package-install terminal-here` -->
+
+Run TODO to start a terminal in the current directory.
+
+Recommended keybindings:
+
+TODO
+
+
+## Alternatives
+
+There are lots of built in ways to run terminals *inside* emacs (`shell`,
+`eshell`, `ansi-term`, ...) but these can have problems like slow output speed
+or incompatibility with existing configs. I currently prefer to run external
+terminal emulators, YMMV.
+
+A couple of
+[places on](http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7650/how-to-open-a-external-terminal-from-emacs)
+[the internet](http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_dired_open_file_in_ext_apps.html) have instructions for running specific terminals from Emacs, but they are not as portable as they could be.
+
+
+## Ramblings
+
+This package is actually pretty trivial, but I figure it's useful for people who
+are (very) new to emacs to be able to do this by simply installing a package. I
+found myself wanting to do something similar in atom but I didn't have time to
+figure out how to write the (probably trivial) required coffeescript. So I was
+very happy to find that someone had made a package for it.
+
+Also integration with projectile or other project packages might be of some use.
