How is this different to a shell script / command alias?

  You can easily create a separate Justfile for every one of your projects. Shell aliases are generally global, not project-specific.

  This ships with your project and is project specific. Sure you could accomplish something similar with direnv to maintain the project-level scope. But Just makes it more explicit.

    Right. I think looking at the features, you see "minor quality of life UX improvements", and it's not mind-blowing. (just commands implicitly run with the workdir of the justfile, just --choose uses fzf, soft tabs not required, etc.). The effect does end up being a nicer tool to use.
