Principles

Do not encourage boilerplate!

We do not want a boilerplate generator. We just want a simple tool for tying together some other tools and automating some simple configs.

Do not privilege walled gardens

Newer tools tend to focused on supporting the GitHub walled garden. We will not bow to this complacency to monopolization.
