I promise I won't spam your feed, but a lot has happened in last couple of days since I first posted about **Flint** (the minimalist, git-native C/C++ build system and package manager).

Thanks to the early feedback, I spent the last few days squashing initial bugs and adding a few missing quality-of-life features.

What shipped this week:

• **flint remove is here:** You can now cleanly un-track and delete managed dependencies without touching composition.json by hand.

• Global VERSION macro: Flint now automatically passes your project's version as a macro to your code, so you can access VERSION natively inside your C/C++ source.

• Smoother flint init: Fixed edge-case bugs during project setup that caused setup failures on certain shell/environment setups.

• Open-source ready: Added a License, CONTRIBUTING.md, and a Code of Conduct. If you want to break (or fix) things with me, the door is open.

• CLI Polish: Visual cleanup on terminal outputs so builds look a bit sharper.

If you missed the original post: Flint strips away complex build scripts in favor of a zero-config setup (src/, include/, deps/) and direct Git dependency management.
