mortar.ch
The tools that hold the bricks together.
mortar.ch is home to the tooling behind BitsAndBricks: the things that keep a pile of repositories in line, so the projects themselves can stay small. For now that is one tool, mason.

- NAME
- mortar — the paste between the bricks that holds a wall together
- DESCRIPTION
- BitsAndBricks makes the bricks. Mortar is what goes between them. A mason is the one who lays bricks in mortar, so the first tool here is called mason. The project started out under the name Mortar itself; the tool became mason, and the name moved up to the domain.
