Tool to automate the setup and updates of a development environment for any project (Successor of devonfw-ide).
With IDEasy you can create a very small git repo with the configuration of the dev environment of your software project. Developers can then setup your project using IDEasy with a single CLI command on Windows, Mac, or Linux and get all the tools needed for your project in the configured version and tailored to the projects demands.
No more manual steps to install and configure, no diff-wars, no more dev setup manuals, no more "its not working on my machine"!
Among many alternatives we believe IDEasy is the best solution for project centric software development needs esp. with its sandbox concept.
