Notes:

• This is currently a research project into next generation config management technologies!
• This is my first complex project in golang, please notify me of any issues.
• I have some well thought out designs for the future of this project, which I'll try and write up clearly and publish as soon as possible.
• The interfaces and code are not yet stable. Please run in development environments only!
• This design is the result of ideas I've had from hacking on advanced config management projects.
• I first started hacking on this in ~2013, even though I had very little time for it.
• I couldn't think of a good name for the project, so it's now being called mgmt until someone contributes a better one!
• I've published a number of articles about this tool:
  • https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/next-generation-configuration-mgmt/
• There are some screencasts available:
  • TODO
