Hoff GitHub CI Bot

Hoff is an open-source software project developed primarily as a gatekeeper for GitHub commits. It functions by enforcing a clean commit history and ensuring that the master branch always builds successfully before changes are merged. The tool is notable for implementing the 'Not Rocket Science Principle' of software engineering, which dictates that a repository should automatically maintain code that passes all tests.

Originally developed by Channable, a tech company based in the Netherlands, Hoff is written in Haskell. Because it is an open-source tool released under the Apache 2.0 license, it does not have a single manufacturing location; rather, it is maintained and deployed by developers globally across various server environments and cloud infrastructures.
