QuickRun starts a git repository without reading its setup documentation. A repository owner
commits a quickrun.yml describing how to start the project; anyone with QuickRun installed runs
it with one command. Repositories without a config still work: QuickRun recognises compose files,
npm scripts, .NET projects, Python apps, Makefiles, Cargo, Go, Maven and Gradle.
Every run shows the repository, ref, resolved commit and the exact commands, and waits for
confirmation before anything executes.
Running QuickRun with no arguments starts a tray icon and a local dashboard showing what is
running, the workspaces on disk, and how to pair the browser extension.
