kicad β the manager app for your Kicad projects, bestie π (this whole thing lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1, iykyk)
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so picture this: you're doing electronics and there are like a million little programs you gotta juggle, and nobody wants to be launching each one by hand like some kind of peasant. that's where kicad comes in π
the kicad utility program is a project manager β it makes using all the various programs you need actually bearable, fr fr. and what are those programs for, you ask? bestie. sit down:
- drawing schematics π§
- laying out PCBs π¦
- generating production files β¨
- and checking those production files too π
so it's giving "one girlie to wrangle them all" and honestly? we're obsessed ππ«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
kicad [project]
