CI/CD Automated Pipelines

Run automated validation, builds, and integration suites during deployments.

Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open BSD-2-Clause license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install luafcgid using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/SnarkyClark/luafcgid.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for luafcgid.

3
