buddy-cli

The buddy-cli allows local versions of the buddy(1) command to be run directly from the command line without any additional setup. This allows different versions of the buddy tool to be run from different projects, without any conflict.

NOTE: version 0.5.0+ is only compatible with buddy versions 0.10.0+ and up

Installation

# If necessary, first uninstall your existing buddy global install
