Allan K. Koech is an independent software publisher distributing open-source developer utilities through a public GitHub repository at https://github.com/allankoechke. The publisher's current catalog consists of a single focused package named "which," a command-line tool that replicates for the Windows operating system the behavior of the classic Unix "which" command. The utility locates executable files by searching the directories listed in the user's PATH environment variable and reports the full path of the matching program, helping users determine exactly which binary will run when a command name is typed at a prompt. This kind of tool belongs to the broader category of system and developer utilities, which are small, purpose-built programs designed to simplify everyday workflows in shells, terminals, and scripting environments. Typical use cases include diagnosing PATH configuration problems, detecting version conflicts when multiple copies of the same executable exist in different directories, verifying that a newly installed tool is correctly registered on the search path, and debugging build or automation scripts that fail because the wrong binary is being resolved. Developers, system administrators, DevOps engineers, and power users who work in Windows command-line environments such as Command Prompt or PowerShell are the primary audience for software of this type, particularly those accustomed to Unix-like systems where equivalent functionality is built in. Because the project is hosted on GitHub, users can review the source code, track changes, report issues, and contribute improvements, which is characteristic of the open-source distribution model favored by independent publishers. The catalog remains compact, emphasizing a single well-defined utility rather than a broad product suite.
