pod-buildah is a simple shell script designed to create rootless Podman containers. This tool helps you automate the compilation and building of GitHub projects, applications, kernels, or any other tasks. With pod-buildah, you gain full integration with tmux, log monitoring using Neovim, and seamless support for apt-cacher-ng across all containers.
These instructions will help you download and run pod-buildah on your system. You do not need to be a programmer to follow these steps.
