I find `just` to be better suited than `make` for this use case: https://github.com/casey/just https://github.com/casey/just
The sibling's comment (re. just shell in files) is good too, and often I'll put all the various commands into a subdir, and `just` is just an interface to that, particularly so if a given script/command gets complex.
Then, `just` is really a signal "hey, this repo supports this interface" and things like `just -l` for discoverability.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI have never used just, but one major advantage of make is that it pretty much exists everywhere - I can assume it's present and I'll be right almost every time.
- eikenberry 2y agoJust looks nice but isn't very prevalent yet. One of make's strengths is that it is everywhere.
- banish-m4 2y agoSigh. The problem is just isn't as portable and doesn't do cached file dependencies. It tries to be better than make but it's a step backwards, more like yet another shell language.
- timw4mail 2y agoThe lack of cached dependencies is an advantage in most non-compiled languages, though.
