🦋 REPORTING BUGS 🦋

found something cursed? here's the tea ☕

• if your Charliecloud came from your Linux distribution (like, your distro packaged it for you), then pls use your distribution's own bug reporting procedures. they're the ones who shipped it to you, so they get the bug reports, periodt.
• otherwise — like if you built it yourself or got it straight from the source — report bugs to: <https://github.com/hpc/charliecloud/issues> 🐛

not me filing a bug without checking which one applies first 😭 do the right one, bestie.
