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 NOASSERTION license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install mac-zfs using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/alblue/mac-zfs.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for mac-zfs.

3

Import mac-zfs into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4
