makejack

A little like make, and jack of all tasks.

Build and maintain your clojure projects.

Status

Early alpha. No releases at the moment.

Intro

Makejack is a clojure CLI tool, a babashka script, and a library for writing you own build tasks.

Start your project using the built in tasks, and as your needs grow, easily customise the tasks to make them your own.

You specify project name and version on the command line, or put them in a project.edn file.

{:name my.org/my-project
 :version "0.0.1"}

With a project.edn file, the build targets should work without passing any agruments.

Install as a Babashka script

If you have babashka 0.6.5 or greater,

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugoduncan/makejack/main/mj
chmod +x mj

Install as a Named Clojure CLI Tool

You can install makejack as a named tool:

clj -Ttools install io.github.hugoduncan/makejack \
'{:git/sha "c6ca7ffdb207da8d78744bb849c0d889e5b81cd4"
:deps/root "projects/makejack-jar"}' \
 :as mj

It can then be called as:

clj -Tmj help

For example, build a jar with:

clj -Tmj jar

Install as a library

You can add makejack to your deps.edn, wherever you configure your build tools.

org.hugoduncan/makejack
{:git/tag "v0.1.5" :git/sha "49f0357" :deps/root "projects/makejack-jar"}

makejack.target-doc

Use doc strings and meta on your build tasks to provide a help command for your build.

makejack.defaults

Provide defaults for filesystem layouts, filenames, etc.

makejack.project-data

Manage the project build data map, possibly in a project.edn file.

The :name is a qualified symbol, like my.org/project-name.

The :version is a dotted string, and can contain a computed component, specified as a :keyword. Currently :git-rev-count and :reverse-date are supported.

makejack.poly

Build helpers for polylith (like) monorepo projects.
