justfile
Generate idiomatic justfiles for any project. Replace Makefiles and ad-hoc shell scripts with a clean, discoverable command runner.
Why just over Make
- No
.PHONYhacks — all recipes are commands, not file targets - No tab-indentation gotchas — any whitespace works
- First-class parameters, dotenv loading, OS detection, and modules
just --listgives instant discoverability with doc comments- Shebang recipes let you write Python/Ruby/Node inline
For the official feature rationale — the most-used features, the special use
cases that make justfiles truly worth it, and a deep-linked chapter index — see
references/manual.md, grounded in the
Just Programmer's Manual.
