Developer Environment Setup

Standardize local engineering workstations with single-binary utility commands.

Scripting & Pipeline Orchestration

Chain complex multi-stage scripts with reliable error reporting and exits.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install immich using your package manager: `npm install immich`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for immich.
