✨ xrepo(1) — the cross-platform build utility that ATE 💅

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about xrepo — it's a cross-platform build utility based on Lua and it's genuinely so iconic. this is the manual page from the General Commands Manual, and yes we're doing the whole thing, no skips. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xrepo [action] [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so. xrepo is a lightweight cross-platform build utility based on Lua. it keeps your project builds in line using xrepo.lua, and here's the tea: compared to makefile/CMakeLists.txt, the configuration syntax is more concise and intuitive. it is very friendly to novices and you can quickly get started in a short time — like, actually quickly, not "read 400 pages of docs" quickly. the whole point? let users focus more on actual project development. main character energy only. 👑

every action, no crumbs left:
