🧠 How It Works

drag coordinates its core functionality through a modular Objective-C pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Production System Integration

Embed drag into Objective-C backend services to handle core application logic.

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 source license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install drag using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/ciaran/drag.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for drag.
