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 fishnet using your package manager: `cargo install fishnet`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for fishnet.

3

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