Ota: Open-source CLI tool for diagnosing and fixing repository readiness issues
By
Adamma
Needed another two minutes in the oven. A half-baked bagel.
Summary
Ota is an open-source CLI tool that helps developers identify what a repository needs to be runnable, why it isn't ready, and how to fix it. It surfaces missing dependencies, environment issues, and configuration blockers that are often scattered across READMEs, scripts, CI configs, and tribal knowledge, making repos trustworthy and runnable across local development, CI, and automation.
