+
+> Attention: This is still alpha, so some things won't work
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var smartssh = require("smartssh");
+var sshInstance = new smartssh({
+    sshDir: "/some/path/.ssh", // the standard ssh directory, optional, defaults to "~./.ssh"
+    sshSync: true // sync ssh this instance will represent the status of an ssh dir if set to true;
+});
+
+sshInstance.addKey({
+    private: "somestring",
+    public: "somestring"
+});
+
+```
