  "github_readme_excerpt": "# Bender\n\n**A dependency management tool for hardware design projects.**\n\nBender manages HDL package dependencies across Git repositories and local paths, resolves compatible versions, records the exact result in `Bender.lock`, and collects ordered source sets for downstream tools. It is designed to fit existing hardware flows rather than impose a registry, directory layout, or simulator choice.\n\n![Build Status](https://github.com/pulp-platform/bender/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)\n[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/bender.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/bender)\n[![License](https://img.shields.io/crates/l/bender)](#license)\n\n## Why Bender\n\n- **Reproducible dependency resolution:** Resolve IP dependencies from Git tags, revisions, or local paths and record the exact state in `Bender.lock`.\n- **HDL-aware source collection:** Keep source ordering, include directories, defines, and target-specific file groups in one place.\n- **Tool-agnostic workflow:** Generate inputs for QuestaSim, VCS, Vivado, Verilator, and other flows without forcing a particular setup.\n- **Practical local development:** Work on dependencies locally and modify them conveniently as part of your development flow.\n\n## Quick Start\n\nInstall Bender:\n\n```sh\ncurl --proto \u0027=https\u0027 --tlsv1.2 https://pulp-platform.github.io/bender/init -sSf | sh\n```\n\nCreate a package:\n\n```sh\nmkdir my_ip\ncd my_ip\nbender init\n```\n\nAdd a dependency to `Bender.yml`:\n\n```yaml\ndependencies:\n  common_cells: { git: \"https://github.com/pulp-platform/common_cells.git\", version: \"1.21.0\" }\n```\n\nResolve dependencies and generate a compile script:\n\n```sh\nbender update\nbender script vsim \u003e compile.tcl\nvsim -do compile.tcl\n```\n\n## How It Works\n\nBender packages are built around three files:\n\n- `Bender.yml`: Declares package metadata, dependencies, sources, targets, and workflow configuration.\n- `Bender.lock`: Records the exact resolved dependency revisions for reproducible builds.\n- `Bender.local`: Stores local overrides, for e",
