REBAR(1)

💖 REBAR — the Erlang build tool that's literally that girl 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about rebar — the sophisticated build-tool for Erlang projects that follows OTP principles. yes it's a manual page. yes it's giving group-chat energy anyway. we're doing this. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rebar [-h] [-c] [-v <verbose>] [-V] [-f] [-D <defines>] [-j <jobs>] [-C
<config>] [-p] [var=value,...] <command,...>

that's the whole vibe in one line, no cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so rebar is an Erlang build tool and its whole job is making it easy to compile and test Erlang applications, port drivers and releases. like, that's the assignment. it ate. 💅

and here's the iconic part: rebar is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or even embed directly in a project. imagine a build tool with main character energy that just... moves in with you. obsessed. 🫶

where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTP conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build configuration work. less config, more slay. ✨

and it also provides dependency management, enabling application writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety of locations (git, hg, etc). reusing libraries from everywhere? that's the dream fr fr. 😭💖
