Devstep comes in two flavors, you can either use the provided CLI or you can build
on top of the provided images from `Dockerfile`s.

ways: from the provided Golang CLI or from `Dockerfile`s. To run the images built,

That image is based on [`progrium/cedarish:cedar14`](https://github.com/progrium/cedarish),
