## What it is
Rebar is a self-contained Erlang build tool that compiles and tests Erlang applications, port drivers, and releases, with dependency management from git/hg sources. This basho/rebar mirror is deprecated and archived; the canonical project has moved to rebar/rebar and users are encouraged to adopt rebar3.

## Use cases
- build erlang otp applications
- compile and test erlang projects
- manage erlang project dependencies from git
- build erlang releases and port drivers
- embed a build script in an erlang project

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Erlang project already configured for rebar 2.x

## When to avoid
- starting a new Erlang project - use rebar3 instead
- you need bug fixes or new features - this repo is archived and read-only
- you want actively maintained dependency management

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, package-manager, testing
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: windows, cli, elixir
- tags: erlang, otp, deprecated, dependency-management, build-system, command-line, linux, macos
