This allows the project to contain all the required tools.\n\nHermit creates a `bin` directory in the project which stores all tools needed.\n\nNew contributors need to install Hermit and hermit manages all the tools they need to work with the code base. New tools can be installed with `hermit install \u003ctoolname\u003e`.\n\nHermit scopes everything to the directory, this all contributors use the same version of all tools. \n\n\n## Additional information\n\n- [Hermit docs](https://cashapp.github.io/hermit/)\n- [Hermit repo](https://github.com/cashapp/hermit)\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/KevinGimbel","@type":"Person","name":"KevinGimbel"},"datePublished":"2025-07-30T08:02:41.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/900/stackit-cli/issues/900"}
