About:
Just is a command runner that simplifies executing project-specific tasks through a single 'justfile'. It provides a simple, Make-like syntax for defining recipes and dependencies, making it easier to manage development workflows without the complexity of shell scripts.
Key Features:
  • Simple Make-like syntax
  • Cross-platform shell command execution
  • Command discovery and listing
  • Dependency management between recipes
  • Environment variable support
Use Cases:
  • Running development tasks and build scripts
  • Managing project setup and initialization commands
  • Creating shortcuts for complex CLI commands
  • Standardizing workflows across team members
Alternatives:
  • make – More complex syntax and platform-specific behaviors
  • npm scripts – Tied to JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem
  • task – Go-based alternative with YAML configuration
