Velocity Container Build Management

Velocity is a tool to help with the maintenance of container build scripts on multiple systems, backends (e.g podman or apptainer) and distros.

Often, when building containers, you may want to try different distros or combinations of software. Usually, this requires copying your container script and making modifications. Velocity aims to cut down on the time wasted in this repetitive process and the clutter of numerous scripts with minor changes. Velocity does this by compartmentalizing your software stack and templating your software installations.
