+
+``$ pip-diff [--fresh | --stale] <reqfile> <reqfile> [output]``
+
+Generates a diff between two given requirements files. Lists either stale or fresh packages.
+
+``$ pip-flatten [--unsorted] <reqfile> [output]``
+
+Takes a single requirements file, and expands it. Essential when working with included files.
+
+
+Possible Future Commands
