makedo

Motivation

This was inspired by the blog post Afraid of Makefiles? Don't be!

Personally, I'm still scared of makefiles! Just kidding, they're fine. Anyway, if you want to explore this interactively, I suggest converting the rest of the example from that blog to a makedo.yaml file. It's really quite simple. 👻

Installation

go install github.com/r0fls/makedo

Example

makedo.yaml

shoes:
  depends:
    - socks
  commands:
    - echo putting on shoes

socks:
  commands:
    - echo putting on socks

Then run the shoes step with the command makedo shoes:

 $ makedo shoes
putting on socks
putting on shoes

Status

This is new and should by no means replace make in your workflow. Unless you really disklike makefiles and like to live on the bleeding edge. If you find bugs or have feature requests, please create an issue.
