+search for new docker tags and update them in your docker-compose file
+
+## Usage
+
+Searches the current folder for a docker-compose.(yml|yaml) file and opens it when it found one. Then it is possible to select a image line. The program then shows the found repository and shows the latest tags. The tags can be scrolled and selected, which updates the opened file.
+From that point save the file and pull the new image with `docker-compose up -d` or `docker-compse pull`.
