Analyze
packbit reads what already exists: the install script, the detection logic buried in comments, the undocumented exit-code handling. From that it builds a picture of what the package actually does.

packbit:
Migration doesn't
have to hurt.
Move applications between environments without rebuilding from scratch
Packaging is the day job. When environments change, packbit does the mechanical part of the move, so your team spends its time on the parts that need a decision. A migration is a diff, not a rewrite.
Before and after
A migration is a diff, not a rewrite.
The engine works on what you already have. Nothing goes back to a blank file.
What you have today
- Hand-written install script
- Detection logic buried in comments
- Per-admin script style
- Copied-and-pasted cleanup routines
- Undocumented exit-code handling

What comes out
- Low-code install sequence
- Declared detection rule
- One shared packaging standard
- Reusable cleanup component
- Explicit, reviewable exit codes
packbit reads what already exists and maps it onto the target standard. The parts that genuinely need a human get flagged, with the reason attached.
Three passes
What the engine actually does.
The tedious part is automated. The judgement calls stay with you.
Transform
Every step it recognises is mapped onto the target standard, as a low-code block or as one of your reusable components. Per-admin style becomes one shared shape.
Validate
What it can't map with confidence is flagged for a human, with the reason attached. Nobody gets handed a blank editor and a deadline.
Bring your
backlog.
Moving environments shouldn't mean rebuilding what already worked.
