# Auto

[![Build Status](https://github.com/google/auto/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/google/auto/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A collection of source code generators for [Java][java].

## Auto‽

[Java][java] is full of code that is mechanical, repetitive, typically untested
and sometimes the source of subtle bugs. _Sounds like a job for robots!_

The Auto subprojects are a collection of code generators that automate those
types of tasks. They create the code you would have written, but without
the bugs.

Save time.  Save code.  Save sanity.
