# `bake`— Kinda like Bash & Make, combined.


I love using `Makefile`s 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**

## Example `Bakefile`, for use with `bake`:

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

argv-example:
    set -eux
    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`**:

```shell
$ 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.

## Installation

Install `bake` via:

    $ brew install kennethreitz/-/bake --HEAD
