bake— Kinda like Bash & Make, combined.

I love using Makefiles for one-off tasks in projects. The problem with doing this, is you can't use familiar bash–isms when doing so, as GNU Make doesn't use the familiar Bash sytnax. This project seeks to bridge these works.

WORK IN PROGRESS

$ bake -h
Usage: bake [OPTIONS] [TASK] [ARGUMENTS]...

                           use.
  --yes                    Set medium–security prompts to yes.
  -x, --fail               Fail immediately, if any task fails.
  --insecure               Use parent shell's environment variables.
  --no-color               Disable colors.

Example Bakefile, for use with bake:

full-install: system-deps install
install: node-deps python-deps
format:
    black .

argv-example:
    set -euxe
    echo "HELLO, $WHO"
    echo $@

dangerous-example: @confirm:secure
    # This will make you do a
    # simple math question before proceeding.
    rm -fr *

python-deps:
    pipenv install
node-deps:
    yarn install

system-deps:
    brew install pipenv

Running the above Bakefile:

$ bake
 - format
 - full-install
 - install
 - env
 - argv-example
 - dangerous-example
 - python-deps
 - node-deps
 - system-deps


$ bake --silent format

Features

• a Bakefile, which looks and feels like the good parts of a Makefile.
• except, you can write real bash code!
• Unlike Makefile, either tabs or 4 spaces can be used.
