A curated collection of skills, practices, and tooling used throughout the project lifecycle — from development to testing and beyond.

Houtu (后土) originates from Chinese mythology and traditional culture, particularly the concept of “黄天后土” — representing the vast sky and the nurturing earth.

Houtu, known as the Earth Deity (后土娘娘), symbolizes:

• Stability — a solid and reliable foundation
• Support — bearing and sustaining all things
• Nurturing — enabling growth and evolution

This project adopts the name Houtu to reflect its purpose:
👉 to serve as a strong, dependable foundation of engineering skills that support the entire project lifecycle.

This repository is designed to:

• 📦 Collect and organize practical skills used in real-world projects
• 🔄 Support the full project lifecycle:
  • Development
  • Testing
  • Deployment
  • Maintenance
• 🧠 Accumulate engineering knowledge and best practices
• 🚀 Enable continuous learning, iteration, and evolution

The repository will continuously evolve and may include:

• Coding practices
• Design patterns
• Architecture principles
• Code quality & refactoring

• Unit testing
• Integration testing
• Test strategies & frameworks
• Automation

• Git workflows
• CI/CD practices
• Code review guidelines
• Project collaboration

• Iteration strategies
• Technical decision records
• Lessons learned
• Performance optimization
