💖 icerun — bestie's guide to the Icecream custom command wrapper 💖

okay so this is icerun(1), section 1 of the manual. yes queen, we're in the user commands section. let's GO ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

icerun — the Icecream custom command wrapper 🍦

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

icerun [command] [command options]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea, bestie: icerun is the Icecream custom command wrapper. that's the whole job description, and it ate.

what it does is genuinely so simple it's iconic: it just runs the command you handed it. literally. executes it. no extra drama. ✨

BUT — and this is the main character energy part — it caps how many copies of that command can run in parallel, and it does it the exact same way local compilations get limited. 🫶

why do we care?? because builds that use Icecream usually need you to crank the parallelism way up, and when you do that, your custom resource-hungry commands can start piling on like it's a group chat and nobody's muting themselves. 😭 wrapping those commands with icerun keeps them from overloading the system. no cap. it's giving responsible. it's giving considerate. it's giving vibe check passed. 👑
