Walker and Elephant

Walker is a frontend program that allows you to interact with a backend: Elephant.

Elephant handles:

  • what data should be shown

  • how things are executed

Walker handles:

  • deciding what is queried

  • how to run actions

Therefore the overall Walker-Experience has to be configured for those two programs separately.

Your Friends:

walker --help
elephant --help
elephant generatedoc
