What is Grit?
Grit provides developers with tools designed for automated code maintenance and transformation. It leverages GritQL, a specialized query language, to define and execute intricate code refactoring and migration tasks across a wide array of programming languages, including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, Terraform, Solidity, Markdown, Rust, Go, SQL, and CSS.
The primary goal of Grit is to streamline development workflows by automating repetitive code modifications, thereby saving significant developer hours. This automation ensures code consistency and simplifies the process of implementing large-scale updates or migrations. Grit offers both a command-line interface (CLI) for individual developers and open-source projects, alongside comprehensive enterprise solutions featuring GitHub integration, automated pull request generation, custom pattern support, and flexible deployment options (cloud or on-premise).
