+# The Grind - HyprShell
+
+A future starter shell for HyprLand.
+
+## Testing and Development
+
+1. Clone the repository and cd into it
+2. `make dev`
+
+This will symlink the repo to `~/.config/quickshell` and start the quickshell process. You'll be able to see your
+changes as you work.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install it permanently, you just have to copy the contents of the repo
+to `~/.config/quickshell`. Do that how you must.
