👋 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."

⚙️ 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.
