How to install openship

Openship is developer utility. What follows is background, not a walkthrough. The authoritative version always lives with the project's own team.

Distribution in practice

Nothing universal applies here. Maintainers normally spell out the supported options, and the answer can differ between platforms and between releases.

Who is behind it

The project is self-governed. Whoever maintains it chooses what ships and when, and writes the accompanying material.

Before touching anything

Start from the support matrix. It narrows over time, and assumptions made years ago often no longer hold.

Making sense of the result

When results differ from expectations, check what is actually being picked up. Duplicate copies and stale caches are the usual explanation.

Only text is published from this domain. Each project remains exactly where its authors put it.

On reading release notes

Release notes are the cheapest way to catch a breaking change before it surprises you. They usually list platform shifts and removed defaults in the first few lines.
