Top 9 Go Make Projects

Task

57 8,631 0.0 Go

A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go

Project mention: Poetry (Packaging) in motion | dev.to | 2023-09-27

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.
mage

4 3,689 5.6 Go

a Make/rake-like dev tool using Go

Project mention: climate "CLI Mate": a CLI library that autogenerates CLIs from structs / functions with support for nested subcommands, global / local flags, help generation from godocs, typo suggestions, shell completion and more | /r/golang | 2023-07-07

mage being a build tool and climate being a CLI library, a direct comparison probably doesn't make much sense but their parsing (https://github.com/magefile/mage/blob/master/parse/parse.go) seems very similar to what I'm doing for metadata (param names / godocs / comments etc.).

knit

4 166 10.0 Go

A simple and flexible build tool using Lua, similar to make/mk.

Project mention: Why Use Make | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-11

I've been working on a tool called Knit (https://github.com/zyedidia/knit) that I think is similar to what you are looking for. Essentially, a Knitfile is a Lua program with Make's declarative rule syntax baked in. It is like Make (with some additional changes inspired by Plan9 mk), but where Make's custom scripting language is replaced with Lua. It's still in progress (I'm currently using it in some projects, and then will likely make some more changes based on my experiences), but I hope to release a stable version in the next few months. If you or others also have feedback, please let me know!
