## Quick Start

```bash
# Build a Go project
core build

# Build for specific targets
core build --targets linux/amd64,darwin/arm64

# Release to GitHub
core release

# Release to multiple package managers
core release  # Publishes to all configured targets

# Start PHP dev environment
core php dev

# Run a LinuxKit image
core run server.iso
```

## Configuration

Core uses `.core/` directory for project configuration:

```
.core/
├── release.yaml    # Release targets and settings
├── build.yaml      # Build configuration (optional)
└── linuxkit/       # LinuxKit templates
    └── server.yml
```
