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.

Show HN: Workflow Orchestrator in Golang
So many tools in this space! This one looks a little bit like go-task, but it seems maybe better for production workflows because if timeout support, while go-task seems more aimed to command line work/makefile replacement.

Using Make – writing less Makefile
A similar tool is `task` https://taskfile.dev/ . It is quite capable and also a single executable. I've grown to quite like it.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
check out tasks - a bit of a learning curve but arguably more powerful imo

Go Development with Hot Reload Using Taskfile
That's when I came across taskfile.dev. Task is an automation tool designed to be more accessible than other options, such as GNU Make.

Poetry (Packaging) in motion
Full disclosure, I did not review Conda or Hatch fully. Not that there is anything explicitly wrong with either of them. Conda is too specific to the scientific community for my general taste. Hatch seems to go well with Conda and also uses the PyProject manifest as well. It's nice that it gives you several built in tools, similar to commit hooks, but I tend to like to roll my own via a Taskfile and run them with Poetry.

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
Taskfile is a tool for streamlining repetitive development tasks. It helps automate activities like building, testing, and deploying applications. Unlike Makefile, Taskfile uses YAML for configuration, making it more readable and user-friendly.

We built the fastest CI in the world. It failed
9. We test everything with another promotion which runs make targets which build docker containers to run python scripts (pytest)
This is also built by a complicated web of wildcarded makefile targets, which need to be interoperable and support a few if/else cases for specific components.
My plan is to migrate all of this to something simpler and more straightforward, or at least more maintainable, which is honestly probably going to turn into taskfile[0] instead of makefiles, and then simple python scripts for the glue that ties everything together or does more complex logic.
My hope is that it can be more straightforward and easier to maintain, with more component-ized logic, but realistically every step in that labyrinthine build process (and that's just the open-source version!) came from a decision made by a very talented team of engineers who know far more about the process and the product than I do. At this point I'm wondering if it would make 'more sense' to replace it with a giant python script of some kind and get access to all the logic we need all at once (it would not).

Show HN: Xc – A Markdown Defined Task Runner
To the extent that posts like these evolve into discussing the merits of Make as a task runner, I would like to offer my tool for review:
* https://github.com/TekWizely/run
I built it to feel like make, but be better at managing tasks and wrappers.
If you are evaluating task runners and appreciate the simplicity of Make's syntax, I hope you'll give Run a try.

Just: A Command Runner
I invite you take a look at Run, a similar tool that I maintain:
* https://github.com/TekWizely/run
Support for including other Runfiles was recently introduced, with support for globbing and the ability to indicate if an error should be generated if no files are found.

DevOps Is Bullshit
Unrelated to this topic, I invite you take a look at my project which a tool purpose-built to be a better version of what your makefile became:
Run: Task runner that helps you easily manage and invoke small scripts and wrappers
https://github.com/TekWizely/run
Defining commands feels like make, but comes with a bunch of extras targeted at the needs of a task-runner.
I hope you'll check it out!

sd – a cozy nest for your scripts
This looks like an interesting way to manage scripts globally. I could even see it able to manage n-sub-commands deep (vs usual "command sub-command" - maybe it already does?) by just trying to resolve each argument as a dir until you find a script to execute.
If you're interested in ways to better-manage small scripts and wrappers more locally, please take a look at my project, Run:

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Makefiles
For those looking for a powerful task runners that feel like a makefile, please take a look at Run:
https://github.com/TekWizely/run
It's better a managing and invoking tasks and generates help text from comments.
