Introducing Greening: Ship Beautiful Software, Fast

I built Greening because I was tired of boilerplating the same setup over and over again. GitHub Actions, README templates, virtualenvs, docs, deployment pipelines — it adds up fast. And even worse, it slows you down right at the moment you're most excited to build something new. Chris Greening - Software Developer Hey!
