About:
mk is a universal build and test runner that automatically detects the appropriate commands for any project. It inspects the repository to identify the build system, test framework, and other tooling, then executes the correct commands without manual configuration. This eliminates the need to memorize project-specific commands like 'npm test' or 'make test'.

Key Features:

Auto-detection of build systems (make, npm, cargo, etc.)
Universal command interface for all projects
Zero configuration required
Supports multiple commands (build, test, lint, clean)

Use Cases:

Running tests across heterogeneous projects without remembering specific commands
Simplifying CI/CD pipelines by using a single command for all repositories
Quickly building or testing unfamiliar codebases

Alternatives:

make – Requires manual Makefile creation; mk auto-detects
