+Setup for Pry
+---
+Pry (http://pry.github.com/) offers a much better out of the box IRB experience 
+with colors, tab completion, and lots of other tricks. You should:
+
+    gem install pry
+    gem install awesome_print
+    ln -s ~/.dotfiles/irb/pryrc ~/.pryrc
+    ln -s ~/.dotfiles/irb/aprc ~/.aprc
+
+The pryrc included here also offers some nice commands like 'clear', 'sql', and etc
+Look at the pryrc to see a list of commands or just type 'help' from pry.

  * Apple-k and Apple-K to type underscores and dashes, since they are so common in code but so far away from home row
  * yw - remapped to yaw, meaning yanking a word will yank the entire word no matter where your cursor is
  * W - write a file (instead of :w, saving you keystrokes for the most common vim operation)
+ * gcc (comment a line) via tComment, and gcp custom alias to comment a paragraph
+ * Cc - (Current command) copies the command under your cursor and executes it in vim. Great for testing single line changes to vimrc.

 work by tpope, scrooloose, and many hours of scouring blogs, vimscripts,
 and other places for the cream of the crop of vim and bash awesomeness.

-I started migrating to tpope's pathogen, but only a few plugins are 
-currently under vim/bundles. 
+ * Full migration to tpope's pathogen for all plugins

+ * Automatic setup script to symlink all dotfiles, or just some selectively
