:aliases {:dostuff {...
                    :extra-deps {...
                                 polylith/clj-poly {:mvn/version "0.2.19"}}

...

If we want to build tooling around Polylith or e.g. use `poly` functionality in our
`build.clj` file, then we can use the [clj-poly](https://clojars.org/polylith/clj-poly) library
and get access to some of the functionality that is included in the `poly` command line tool.

The difference between the `clj-poly` library and the `poly` tool is that the latter is AOT compiled
into Java bytecode, while the library is just a normal Clojure library (source code that is zipped
into a jar file). This is good, because now we can expect the same behaviour from both.

We can use the `poly` tool as a library by including the `clj-poly` library
as a dependency to a project's `deps.edn` file, e.g.:
```clojure
:aliases {:dostuff {...
                    :extra-deps {...
                                 polylith/clj-poly {:mvn/version "0.2.19"}}
```

...or by selecting a [sha](https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/commits/master) from
the polylith GitHub repo, e.g.:
```clojure
...
polylith/clj-poly {:git/url   "https://github.com/polyfy/polylith.git"
                   :sha       "3b3e4ceac31d27f9a87862286f1ba01a3e4705ef"
                   :deps/root "projects/poly"}
```

As an example, the `clj-poly` library is first specified in the
[build](https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/blob/5ff79341e7dc3fc6a486584c6c2f2f46cb577d6e/deps.edn#L120)
alias in polylith's `build.clj` and then used in
[build.clj](https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/blob/9e79264981b0c5be6e6cb70c93a540a82c489510/build.clj#L83).

If you need more access than is exposed by the API at the moment, just reach out to the
Polylith team in [Slack](https://clojurians.slack.com/messages/C013B7MQHJQ)
and we will try to help out.

All other code that is not part of the public API, is used at your own risk,
and may change in a breaking way between `clj-poly` versions.
