Candy is a CLI tool that provides a basic set of commands to perform tedious tasks such as converting YAML to JSON or JSON to YAML directly from your terminal. It's built with Go, Cobra, Viper, etc. To install the Candy CLI, use the command go install github.com/Pradumnasaraf/candy@latest. Go will automatically install it in your $GOPATH/bin directory, which should be in your $PATH. Once installed, you can use the candy CLI command. To confirm installation, type candy at the command line.

The job backlog will clear over the next few days and wait times should return to normal soon.
