Writing Cloud Foundry Open Source Tools for Everyone...
summary
Open source toolkit suite shows concrete results: diff highlights six YAML deltas (type changes, list reorders, certificate field edits) and pretty‑prints files, conad ships bundled sample apps inside the binary, pushes them in CI, verifies reachability and deletes the app by default after about 90 seconds, and havener aggregates multi‑namespace kubectl output, dumps logs to local files for full-text search, offers a distributed shell mode across containers and a node‑exec root shell on worker nodes. Projects are written in Go, hosted on GitHub, built with Travis CI, use Dependabot and distribute via Homebrew.
