Documentation

The npm package carries the documentation of its own version in docs/, with its contents in docs/SUMMARY.md: in a workspace, under node_modules/@runqk/cli/docs/. The site at https://pajn.github.io/qk/ follows the main branch, so it can describe what a release does not have yet.

Cargo installation

cargo install qk-cli --locked

The crates.io 0.0.0 version is a metadata-only name reservation. Functional Cargo releases start at 0.1.1 and install the qk executable.
