Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open MIT license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install pillowtalk using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/curtis0x/pillowtalk.git`

2
