What is akshara?

akshara is a tool for turning a config file (system.yaml) into a fully built system. It does this by parsing the config file and performing actions against an Arch rootfs tarball to create a new system, which replaces your old one after a reboot (user folders, containers and Flatpaks are preserved).
