Cdist: Configuration Management That Stays Close to Unix Roots Cdist isn’t about flashy dashboards or enterprise plugins.

It’s self-hosted, dead simple, and doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a solid pipeline runner. You set it up once, wire it to your Git repo, write a readable YAML file, and that’s it. No agents sprawling across your cluster. No surprise API limi
