Welcome to Exploring Software Development Tools

A subsection of BradPenney.io, this is a friendly guide through the world of command-line magic and automation awesomeness! 🧰🚀

This site is dedicated to documenting the best practices, quirks, and superpowers of tools like git, jq, yq, make, gh and other must-haves for developers who want to do more with less typing (and fewer headaches).

Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been piping output into /dev/null for years, I hope you’ll find something here that’s helpful, insightful, or at least good for a smirk. 😄
