    πŸ‘‹ Meet Bob

    "I'm IBM's open, modern build tool for the IBM i platform - free, open source, and hosted on IBM's GitHub.
    My job? Helping you build native QSYS objects efficiently, reliably, and flexibly."


    βš™οΈ Why You'll Love Bob

    - Incremental builds: Recompile only what's needed.

    - Dependency aware: Automatically rebuilds everything affected by a change.

    - Built on standards: Powered by GNU Make, works great with Git.

    - Configurable & extensible: Customize to fit your workflow.

    - Simple to use: Build everything with one command - or one click in RDi.


    🌍 Why It Matters

    IBM i development is evolving. Manual compilation and scripts can't keep up with modern DevOps.
    Project Bob brings automation, consistency, and best practices to the IBM i ecosystem.
