The project's README from github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode. As one markdown file: README.md.

No Code

No code is the best way to write secure and reliable applications. Write nothing; deploy nowhere.

Getting Started

Start by not writing any code.


This is just an example application, but imagine it doing anything you want. Adding new features is easy too:


The possibilities are endless.

Building the Application

Now that you have not done anything it's time to build your application:


Yep. That's it. You should see the following output:


Deploying

While you still have not done anything it's time to deploy your application. By running the following command you can deploy your application absolutely nowhere.


It's that simple. And when it comes time to scale the application, all you have to do is:


I know right?

Contributing

You don't.

What is this?It is a satirical joke project that claims the best way to write secure and reliable applications is to write nothing and deploy nowhere. There is no actual code, feature, or product here.
Is there an actual application in here?No. It is a parody README with fake build and deploy steps that do nothing, built as a joke rather than a working tool.
How do I build and deploy it?You run the build step, which does nothing, then the deploy step, which deploys 'absolutely nowhere' - there are no real commands to execute.
Why does this repo have so many stars if it does nothing?It is a well-known joke in the DevOps community by Kelsey Hightower, poking fun at how 'no code, no bugs' is technically the most secure and reliable software philosophy.
Does it use Docker for anything real?The repo is tagged as a Dockerfile project but contains no functional Dockerfile logic - it's part of the gag, implying a build process exists when it doesn't.
Is there any real feature I'm missing?No, every section (building, deploying, scaling, contributing) is written to humorously describe doing absolutely nothing.
