-`ch` is a command-line interface for using Docker containers as development environment. The tool provides a simple
-Docker interface to manage multiple containerized development environments. Like the `docker exec -it`, the CLI has a
-shell environment. This was designed to generalize how we develop C++ code in CSCI 104 to be portable enough to use

 whichever Docker container you choose. Of course, this project would not be possible without the reference
 of [docker/cli](https://github.com/docker/cli) for examples of how to use the Docker Engine API.
