  • What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
    17 projects | /r/devops | 6 Dec 2023
    Personally I like https://github.blog/2015-06-30-scripts-to-rule-them-all/ as a pattern and then let the authors do whatever crazy thing they want from there. In my experience, 99% of repos never move past using simple shell scripts with a few common functions with that pattern, and things are kept fairly simple. A select few repositories tend to mature enough that they are able to invest in swapping towards something more testable than shell scripts, and then you just have a couple people who stick to invoking `make` from the scripts but it's fine and nobody has to think about it except them. We don't stick to that exact set of scripts, but find that as long as you don't use more than like 10ish entrypoints in `script/*`, and have at least `script/bootstrap` it's fine.

  • Just: A Command Runner
    27 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Jan 2023
    I dig the general idea, but question the value add over a directory of `scripts` that follow sane conventions (ie `script/test`, `script/build` etc). Is the main thing that you can do `just -l` to see available commands? I have never really reached for `make` when I've had a choice, as I've done mostly ruby, JS, or java where you have more sane, humane tools (i.e. Rake, Yarn, Maven though that one is never fun).

    My general approach is every repo should have something that follows https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all, written in sh (maybe bash, its 2023), linted with shellcheck. When you need something fancy Rake is great or grab some nice bash command line helper and source it from all your scripts. Is a command listing really worth another dependency over what you get from `ls script` or `cat script/README` ?

    Afaik AzDo cannot run tasks concurrently. From having had to work with azure pipelines I would highly suggest to use the github approach of Scripts to rule them all and avoiding predefined tasks unless absolutely necessary(Things that are complicated to implement and solutions already existing.

    GitHub have a pattern for this called "scripts to rule them all" - https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all - I've not fully adopted it yet but I probably should, it looks very well thought-out.
