+# Juju Cheatsheet
+
+Sometimes you don't have all day to figure stuff out, here's a TLDR of how to use Juju:
+
+## Installing the PPA and all the goodies:
+
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install juju juju-local juju-quickstart charm-tools
+juju quickstart -i - prompts you for all your cloud credentials. 
+juju bootstrap -v - bootstrap a node (always -v so you can see what's going on, drop the -v when you get comfortable with juju, but juju bootstrap since 1.17.0 shows what's going on -v is really verbose at this point)
+juju debug-log - open this in another terminal or tab, so you can see what juju is doing while you type other commands)
+
+## Using Juju
+
+juju deploy $servicename $alias- deploy a service, alias is optional if you want to name it something. If you use aliases you need to refer to the service via the alias from then on:
+
+                juju deploy mediawiki myawesomewiki
+
+juju add-unit $servicename - add a unit
+juju add-unit -n 10 $servicename - add 10 units.
+
+juju status - shows what's going on
+juju status servicename - shows you what's going for a particular server
+juju ssh servicename/machine# - ssh to a unit, get the # from juju status
+juju ssh machine# - ssh to a machine number
+
+## bundles
+
+juju quickstart bundle:~abentley/wiki-bundle/1/wiki - Get the bundle address from jujucharms.com
+
+## Relations
+
+juju add-relation $service1 $service2 - relate two services
+juju destroy-relation $service1 $service2 - unrelate 2 services
+
+## Destroying Stuff
+
+juju destroy-environment $environment-name - destroy an environment
+juju destroy-service $servicename - destroy a service, DOES NOT REMOVE THE MACHINE, you need to follow up:
+juju destroy-machine # - destroy machine # 
+
+## Writing Charms/Bundles
+
+charm create foo - create a blank charm template
+charm add tests - add tests to an existing charm
+charm add readme - add a readme template to an existing charm
+charm proof - lint for charms
+bundle proof - lint for bundles
+
+juju debug-hooks - debug mode for charm writing, this will ssh you into the units and fire off a tmux session to debug (totally awesome, use this). 
+
+## Clean up
