+```powershell
+ruby bin/console
+# Start typing Ruby code!
+```
+
+### Option 2: Learn More
+1. Read `README.md`
+2. Read `EXAMPLES.md`
+3. Explore the code
+
+### Option 3: Build & Deploy
+```powershell
+# Build the gem
+gem build pretty_irb.gemspec

+```
+
+### Option 4: Publish to RubyGems
+Follow guide in `INSTALL.md` section "Publishing to RubyGems"
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Learning Resources
+
+### Understanding the Code
+1. **shell.rb** - How the REPL works
+2. **formatter.rb** - How output is formatted
+3. **auto_corrector.rb** - How corrections work
+4. **Tests** - See spec/ folder for examples
+
+### Extending It
+- Add more auto-corrections in `auto_corrector.rb`
+- Add new colors/themes in `formatter.rb`
+- Add new commands in `shell.rb`
+
+### Common Tasks
+- **Fix a bug**: Check tests first, then fix code
+- **Add feature**: Write test, implement, verify
+- **Change colors**: Edit `formatter.rb`
+- **Add correction**: Edit `auto_corrector.rb`
