Configuration-First
Define your entire dev environment in a single tilde.config.json. Every tool,
language, and preference is version-controlled and reproducible.

Why tilde?
Section titled “Why tilde?”Idempotent
Run tilde as many times as you want. It checks what’s already installed and only applies what’s missing — safe to re-run after any change.
Extensible
Install only what you need. tilde is built around a plugin-style tool list — add languages, tools, and accounts as your setup evolves.
Provenance-aware
tilde is being designed to explain whether tools are managed by tilde, manually installed, bundled with macOS, or present as dependencies before changing a machine.
