Recipes
Step-by-step instructions you can follow yourself. Every command here was checked against the tool's own page or its package registry, and every step tells you how to prove it worked.
These are instructions, not case studies
A recipe tells you what to do. It is not a report of something that already happened somewhere else. Nothing here claims that any organisation did this. It is written for you to do now, and every step tells you how to check it worked.
