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 LGPL-3.0 license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install geocoder using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/geocommons/geocoder.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for geocoder.

3

Import geocoder into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

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