Benefits include: + +* Unify dev and CI environments. Write your pipeline once, Dagger will run it the same everywhere. +* Reduce CI lock-in. No more re-writing everything from scratch every 6 months. +## How does it work? + +1. Automate actions with your favorite programming language. No proprietary SDK: just regular shell, Go, Javascript, Python... +2. Reuse actions from a large and growing catalog. +3. Tie it all together in CUE - a revolutionary declarative language invented at Google. No more YAML hell! +4. Test and debug instantly on your local machine. No more waiting 10mn to catch a typo. +5. Run your pipelines on any Docker-compatible runtime, for maximum portability. This means most modern CI runners can run Dagger out of the box. + ## Getting Started [Documentation website](https://docs.dagger.io/)
