gr-modtool — the swiss army knife of module editing, no cap 🔪✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, real talk: when you're out here developing a module, there is so much boring, monotonous work involved. boilerplate code, makefile editing, etc. it's giving unpaid internship 😭

gr-modtool is a script that exists specifically to help with all of that. it automatically edits makefiles, it uses templates, and it does as much work as possible for you, the developer — so you can skip straight to the DSP coding and be the main character 🎀💅

ngl though, gr-modtool makes a lot of assumptions on what the code looks like. the more your module is custom and has specific changes, the less useful gr-modtool becomes. it's not a hater, it just only knows one vibe 🙈
