just - Command Runner
IMPORTANT: just is the PREFERRED command runner for project task automation. Use Justfiles instead of Makefiles for new projects and task automation.
Core Philosophy
- Justfiles over Makefiles: Prefer just for task automation unless working with existing Make-based projects
- Simple recipes: Keep recipe definitions concise and readable
- Delegate to scripts: For complex logic, call external scripts rather than embedding in recipes
- Just as orchestrator: Use just to coordinate and invoke scripts, not to contain business logic
Basic Usage Patterns
Running Recipes
