What it is

Use flowctl to automatically run tasks and workflows for your dev team.

Real use case example

"A founder wants to automate the process of updating their company's website whenever they deploy new code to GitHub. They set up flowctl to run a script whenever a new commit is pushed to the repository, and the result is an automatic website update without any manual intervention."
