This is a development Docker Compose solution for programming OpenEMR. New and existing contributors can enjoy the benefits of simply pulling down their fork and running a single command to get coding!

Code changes are immediately reflected in the container.

Please see [openemr/contrib/util/docker at master · openemr/openemr · GitHub](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/tree/master/contrib/util/docker) for information. This is driven by docker-compose.yml, which now sits at the root of OpenEMR.

Give the README a run through and let me know your thoughts!

Will work on this. My goal is to see if I can get it running, and then if I run into any problems make sure they are addressed in the ReadMe, as well as just generally making the ReadMe instructions better. Does that sound right?

Omg, looks like I missed that `cd`. Good catch!
