starcm

"star-cm" ⭐

• A rudimentary configuration management language that utilizes Starlark instead of Ruby, json, or yaml.
• Why Starlark? Starlark provides variables, functions, loops, and lots more "for free" inside of the configuration files!

Goal

Starcm is intended to become a viable alternative for tools like macadmins/installapplications, facebookincubator/go2chef, and google/glazier.

Installation

1. Download starcm from https://github.com/discentem/starcm/releases and install it somewhere in your path, such as /usr/local/bin/starcm.

If you want to compile yourself, install https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk and run make install.
