Common patterns

All products follow similar conventions:

  • Local state — configuration and data live on your machine
  • JSON output — every command supports --json for automation
  • No SaaS — you bring your own cloud credentials where needed
  • Open source — source on GitHub

Install Root

Root is a good first tool if you want reproducible CLI installs without learning Nix:

curl -fsSL https://boringinfra.company/root/install.sh | sh
root doctor
root catalog
root plan install ripgrep
root install ripgrep

Install Sandman

Sandman provisions disposable environments on your cloud accounts:

curl -fsSL https://boringinfra.company/sandman/install.sh | sh
sandman init gcp
sandman create demo --ttl 2h
sandman destroy demo

Install Combie

Combie connects your engineering providers and builds evidence-backed relationships:

curl -fsSL https://combie.dev/install | sh
combie init
combie connect github --use-gh
combie sync
