💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The gmt command gives you command-line access to any Genome Model Tools modules that are installed on the current system. any of them. all of them. it's not picky, it's not exclusive, it just finds them and hands them to you. 💅

Each installed tool group is a sub-command. so the tree structure is real, and you just keep drilling down like you're going through your camera roll at 2am.

Just type gmt and press Enter for a the top-level list, then drill down from there. no cap — it literally tells you what's there and you follow it. main character navigation. 👑

🌈 DEVELOPMENT 🌈

Installing any new Perl module with a name starting with Genome::Model::Tools will add to the tree. 🌱

that's it. that's the whole rule. drop a new module in and it just appears. the tree grows itself. iconic behaviour, honestly.
