  • just

    🤖 Just a command runner

  • I find `just` to be better suited than `make` for this use case: https://github.com/casey/just

    The siblings comment is good too, and often I'll put all the various commands into a subdir, and `just` is just an interface to that, particularly so if the script gets complex.

    Then, `just` is really a signal "hey, this repo supports this interface" and things like `just -l` for discoverability.

  • Author tried bazel 8 years ago, which is when the article was written. Judging by his GH repos, he's still using Makefiles.
