"github_readme_excerpt": "# Diagram-as-code\nThis command line interface (CLI) tool enables drawing infrastructure diagrams for Amazon Web Services through YAML code. It facilitates diagram-as-code without relying on image libraries.\n\nThe CLI tool promotes code reuse, testing, integration, and automating the diagramming process. It allows managing diagrams with Git by writing human-readable YAML.\n\nExample templates are [here](examples).\nCheck out the [Introduction Guide](doc/introduction.md) as well for additional information.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"doc/static/introduction2.png\" width=\"800\"\u003e\n\n\n\n## Features\n- **Compliant with AWS architecture guidelines** \nEasily generate diagrams that follow [AWS diagram guidelines](https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons).\n- **Flexible** \nAutomatically adjust the position and size of groups.\n- **Lightweight \u0026 CI/CD-friendly** \nStart quickly on a container; no dependency on headless browser or GUI.\n- **Integrate with your Infrastructure as Code** \nGenerate diagrams to align with your IaC code without managing diagrams manually.\n- **As a drawing library** \nUse as Golang Library and integrate with other IaC tools, AI, or drawing GUI tools.\n- **Extensible** \nAdd definition files to create non-AWS diagrams as well.\n\n## Getting started\n\n### for Gopher (go 1.21 or higher)\n```\n$ go install github.com/awslabs/diagram-as-code/cmd/awsdac@latest\n```\n\n### for macOS user\n```\n$ brew install awsdac\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```\nUsage:\n awsdac \u003cinput filename\u003e [flags]\n\nFlags:\n -c, --cfn-template [beta] Create diagram from CloudFormation template\n -d, --dac-file [beta] Generate YAML file in dac (diagram-as-code) format from CloudFormation template\n -h, --help help for awsdac\n -o, --output string Output file name (default \"output.png\")\n --override-def-file string For testing purpose, override DefinitionFiles to another url/local file\n -t, --template ",
