I've been seeing a growing use of `just` for cases like this. It works similar in function to make, but it's a great deal cleaner and easier to use.

- kapilvt 4y agoas someone who maintains projects both using just and make, I have to say just is awesome, and allows things like writing a given task directly in a scripting language. sadly its not universally available across operating systems and linux distros (ubuntu/debian was the last significant dev ecosystem where it wasn't native, re apt install). so for projects with wider contributor goals, I still default to make, despite its warts (which are many imo), cause it tends to work ootb.

(This happens to be useful in certain situations like terraform env/region/stack trees. "Just" is also a command runner. While (as another person has pointed out) "make" is everywhere, "just" is easy to install.
