=> Link the current dir to ~/.pow/<current_directory>
$ powder link [bacon]
=> Link the current dir to ~/.pow/bacon
=> Create .powder, contents bacon
$ powder link [bacon] --no-create
=> Link the current dir to ~/.pow/bacon
$ powder link [bacon] --force
=> Remove the current pow symlink, and .powder
=> Link the current dir to ~/.pow/bacon
=> Create .powder, contents bacon
# For both forms of link, if the current directory doesn't
# look like an app that can be powed it will offer to download
# a basic config.ru for Rails 2
$ powder unlink

Contributing
Powder now opperates a "no issues, just pull requests" policy. The gem really is so simple that there is no excuse not to fix any problems that you find, or implement any features that you want. Hack away, submit a pull request and we'll be notified. We're pretty up for accepting just about anything into powder, but it has to be directly related to managing pow (of course). If it's not, there may be some debate!
Get hacking!
