javan/whenever

This system is the Whenever gem, a Ruby library designed to manage cron jobs through a command-line interface and Capistrano integration. It provides tools for generating, updating, and clearing crontab entries, supporting both direct CLI usage and automated deployment workflows. The codebase has been modernized with a modular architecture, comprehensive test coverage across multiple Ruby and Rails versions, and updated dependencies.

The codebase was refactored from a single-file structure into a modular architecture, while legacy job types and Rake tasks were removed in favor of a new command-line interface.
