Banana Buddy

Banana Buddy is a fictional or placeholder name often used in software development tutorials, examples, and documentation to represent a generic tool, application, or project. It serves as a stand-in for teaching concepts like version control, testing, deployment, or API integration without referencing real-world products. This practice helps learners focus on core principles without getting distracted by specific tool details.

Also known as: BananaBuddy, banana-buddy, BB, Banana Tool, Example Tool
