+# //bridge
+
+Bridge is a tool to connect your favourite editor and interpreter (or
+similar) for maximum profit.
+
+
+## usage by example
+
+ # start your favourite interpreter, e.g. bc, in a new session
+ bridge create my_fancy_interpreter bc
+
+ # attach a terminal to the session
+ bridge attach my_fancy_interpreter
+
+ # fire up your favourite editor (in another terminal)
+ vim
+ # press <F12> to connect to the session
+ # press return
+ # write interpreter stuff, e.g. 42^23
+ # mark that stuff
+ # press return
+
+ # you can use tab-completion everywhere (if installed)
+
+
+## install bridge (bourne) shell integration
+
+Hint #1: reboot your system or similar for this to take full effect
+Hint #2: you could also use ~/.profile or similar
+
+ echo 'PATH="${PATH+$PATH:}//bridge/bin"' >> /etc/profile
+
+
+## install bridge Vim integration
+
+Hint: your vim-setup probably differs
+
+ ln -s //bridge/share/vim/plugin/bridge.vim ~/.vim/plugin/
+
+
+## install bridge bash completion
+
+Hint #1: reboot your system or similar for this to take full effect
+Hint #2: this could differ on your system, of course
+Hint #3: you could also use ~/.profile or similar
+
+ ln -s //bridge/etc/bash_completion.d/bridge /etc/bash_completion.d/
