🧠 How It Works

auto-compile coordinates its core functionality through a modular Emacs Lisp 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 auto-compile into Emacs Lisp 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 GPL-3.0 license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install auto-compile using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/emacscollective/auto-compile.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for auto-compile.

3

Import auto-compile into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

Execute your test suite or run `auto-compile --help` to verify successful setup.
