A minimal distributed configuration management tool written entirely in bash, serving as a tiny alternative to Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. Each managed host periodically pulls a git-based inventory describing its roles and modules, then runs idempotent shell scripts to configure itself.

Use cases

• manage server configuration without ansible
• simple gitops-based config management for a few servers
• apply idempotent bash scripts across hosts
• tiny alternative to chef or puppet
• self-managing hosts that pull their own config
• provision linux servers with shell scripts

When to choose

• you prefer bash over YAML DSLs and want minimal abstraction
• managing a small number of linux hosts
• you want a pull-based, git-driven configuration model
• you need something with zero dependencies beyond bash and git

When to avoid

• you need large-scale fleet management with rich orchestration
• you require windows support or non-linux platforms
• you want built-in secrets management, templating, or a module ecosystem
• you need detailed reporting, drift detection dashboards, or agent management
