Top 12 Go Make Projects

  1. Task

    A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go

    Project mention: Mise: Dev tools, env vars, task runner | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-06

    Have enjoyed replacing makefiles with https://taskfile.dev/ which looks like it could be more powerful due to being able to detect changes etc. But glad Just has been good.

  3. mage

    a Make/rake-like dev tool using Go

    Project mention: Just: Just a Command Runner | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-07

    Several comments mention Task/Taskfile already, which is very similar in that you define tasks in YAML.

    I think it's worth mentioning Mage/Magefile [1][2] as well, where your tasks are actual Go code. Similar to how Rake is for tasks in Ruby code.

    It's useful when you have complex tasks.

    It's like using Pulumi instead of Terraform.
