ymint

ymint is a command-line tool designed for managing Yocto Project environments. It simplifies the process of setting up, configuring, and interacting with the Yocto Project's build system. The tool automates many common tasks, such as initializing build directories, fetching sources, configuring build parameters, and building images.

The primary function of ymint is to streamline the workflow for developers working with embedded Linux systems built using the Yocto Project. It acts as a wrapper around various Yocto Project tools like BitBake and Toaster, providing a more user-friendly interface. Users can specify their desired machine, distribution, and image type, and ymint will handle the underlying configuration.

Key features of ymint include the ability to create new build environments from templates, manage multiple build configurations simultaneously, and execute common build commands with simplified syntax. It aims to reduce the learning curve associated with the Yocto Project, making it more accessible for both novice and experienced users. The tool is written in Python and is designed to be extensible.
