# Cabin
Cabin is an opinionated build and package manager for conventional C/C++ projects.
It uses a declarative manifest and a predictable project model to reduce build configuration
boilerplate. Cabin is inspired by Cargo where the workflow maps cleanly, but it deliberately
diverges where C and C++ require different semantics.
Cabin is best suited for projects that want a simple, explicit, package-oriented workflow rather
than a fully programmable build system.
## Current Limitations
Cabin is still pre-1.0. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to redesign.
## Installation
