Taskfile
Rake
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile - my favourite for its simplicity. A shell alias and a shell script with a function for each "job". No need to learn yet another tool when you just want to run a few pre-defined commands from a project's root. I think, if you're going to complain about make, then maybe all you really need is a shell script.

How a true gentleman navigate in Linux or Unix terminal...
You want to use $@ rather than $* so you don't have to do double-quoting on arguments that have spaces in them. That said, I'm gonna steal this. Also if you like clever composability tricks check out Taskfiles, I've adopted them all over in my own code.

I Prefer Makefiles over Package.json Scripts
I was amazed to discover Taskfile. Didn't realise it was a copy of Make.

An Introduction to Metaprogramming in Ruby
where every argument except the name can either be missing, single (value) or multiple (array). Sure, it has the "advantage" that it's syntactically valid Ruby code, but it then requires some 70 lines of awful code to actually parse that data into a usable construct ([1] up to L145).

Taskfile: A Modern Alternative to Makefile
Rake[0] is still the best ‘make-like’ build tool I’ve used for general purpose stuff. The syntax is nice and it’s just Ruby which is a delight. I briefly used Mage (similar, but Go) and it was fine too.

Knit: Making a Better Make
Yup! Two well-established alternatives are "rake", in the Ruby community, and "just" in the Rust community.
Rake is fully programmable in Ruby. Just is a bit less flexible, but it doesn't require learning Ruby, and it's quite pleasant to use.

Anyone have any good Ruby repos that showcase best practices?
Rake is a great way to homogenize and declare common behaviors of your script (called "tasks"); a guide.

Write your own Domain Specific Language in Ruby
In Ruby there's a gem named Rake. This gem provides a DSL to create tasks to be run from the command line. A small example looks like this:

What about a CMake transpiler?
We use [Rake](https://github.com/ruby/rake) instead - it's awesome.

How to Access Rails ActiveRecord Models Inside a Rake Task
If you've been working with Ruby on Rails for a while, you've come across Rake. Written by the late Jim Weirich, Rake is to Ruby what Make is to C. It's very easy to create custom Rake tasks to simplify your development workflows. Rails even provides a generator (rails g task) to create them for you.
