The bob command is not a standard Linux utility included in core packages like coreutils, util-linux, or busybox across major distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc.). Running man bob or which bob typically yields no results.

It may refer to third-party tools, such as:
• bob build tool by scp-foundation/libbob for game asset building.
• Weaveworks' bob for Kubernetes image building and promotion.
• Custom scripts or aliases named 'bob' in user environments.

Without specific installation or context (e.g., brew install bob on macOS or cargo for Rust-based bob), it has no default behavior. Always check PATH or package managers like apt/yum for local variants. Usage varies widely, often for building, backing up, or task automation.

Not universally available; behavior depends on installed variant. May conflict with custom scripts. Verify with bob --help post-install.

For Weaveworks bob: go install github.com/weaveworks/bob@latest.
For libbob: Build from source via GitHub.

bob build myapp (builds image).
bob promote prod (promotes artifact).

Emerged in niche projects around 2010s. Weaveworks bob (2019+) focuses on reproducible builds for cloud-native apps. Other 'bob' tools trace to game dev or personal utils; no POSIX standardization.
