udb
What is it?
udb is a native comand line tool, build with Kotlin/Native, which simplifies a lot of typical adb use cases.
It's very early in development stages so don't get angry if it doesn't quite work as well as you hoped!
Install
Homebrew coming very soon!
For now, you can check out this repository and run ./gradlew installReleaseBinary to build from the source.
