Prodigy

Manage external services from within Emacs

I came up with the idea when I got to work one Monday morning and before I could start working I had to manually start ten or so services.

To get rid of this tedious work, I started working on this Emacs plugin. Prodigy provides a Magit-like GUI to manage services in a simple way.
