- [nitpick] The comma after 'tools' creates an awkward break. Consider removing it and splitting into two sentences for clarity, e.g.: 'It can declaratively add and remove tools to an existing project, configure them, and set up a new project from scratch.'
usethis is a command-line interface to automate the configuration of popular Python tools, workflows and frameworks. It can declaratively add and remove tools, to an existing project, configure them, and set up a new project from scratch. It won't break your existing configuration, and ensures all tools are working smoothly together.
