About:
container-compose is a CLI tool that orchestrates Apple Containers using Docker Compose-style YAML configuration files. It simplifies the lifecycle management of container groups by mapping Compose concepts to native Apple Container APIs. This enables developers to use familiar workflows for managing local containerized environments on macOS.

Key Features:

Declarative YAML configuration compatible with Docker Compose syntax
Orchestration of multi-container applications on Apple's container runtime
Simplified lifecycle management (start, stop, logs) for container groups
Native performance by leveraging Apple's virtualization technologies

Use Cases:

Managing local development environments with multiple interdependent services
Simplifying container orchestration for macOS developers transitioning from Docker
Defining and running complex application stacks with a single configuration file

Alternatives:

Docker Compose – Docker Compose runs containers inside a Linux VM on macOS, while container-compose uses native Apple Containers for better performance and resource efficiency.
podman-compose – Podman-compose orchestrates Podman containers, whereas container-compose is specifically designed for Apple's native containerization stack.
