bashaform

An elegant, pragmatic infrastructure framework — direct, deterministic control without the DSL bloat.

bashaform is an infrastructure framework for engineers who want direct, deterministic control without Terraform, Ansible or Pulumi bloat.

By stripping away the heavy DSLs, the state-file locking headaches and the runtime sprawl, it embraces the UNIX philosophy: minimal key-value configurations, filesystem hierarchies, and direct vendor tool execution. It is backed by the groan command dispatcher, which gives it shell-native speed with the discoverability and completion of a modern CLI.

Configuration is a file, not a state store. There is no plan step and no apply step, because there is nothing to reconcile — the machine is made to match the declaration, and the declaration is small enough to read.
