-----
|
|
|
|
- figure out argument passing:
|
|
. flag: j build --set a=hello
|
|
. by export: A=HELLO j build
|
|
. by export 2: BUILD.A=HELLO j build
|
|
. by name: j build a=hello
|
|
. by position: j build hello
|
|
. with marker: j build hello : clean hello :
|
|
. after -- : j build -- foo baz
|
|
. fast errors when arguments are missing
|
|
. could also allow this to override variables
|
|
although maybe only after a '--': j build -- a=hello
|
|
. sub arguments into recipes
|
|
|
|
- before release:
|
|
|
|
- rewrite grammar.txt
|
|
- start with an example justfile
|
|
- then installation instructions
|
|
- then a long guide
|
|
- make it clear it's beta, mention that, as a command runner
|
|
there is probably a higher than normal chance of disaster
|
|
- change name back to 'just', suggest j as alias
|
|
- change description to "a polyglot command runner"?
|
|
- update readme
|
|
- document all code, including private stuff
|
|
(can this be enforced with a lint?)
|
|
#![deny(missing_docs)]
|
|
- note that shell is invoked with -cu, explain -c and -u
|
|
- document all features with example justfiles
|
|
(also make them runnable as tests)
|
|
. update tarball dep
|
|
. check version string
|
|
. clean
|
|
. update logs (repetitive git flow)
|
|
- full documentation
|
|
. talk about why the syntax is so unforgiving
|
|
easier to accept a program that you once rejected than to
|
|
no longer accept a program or change its meaning
|
|
. habit of using clever commands and writing little scripts
|
|
. very low friction to write a script (no new file, chmod, add to rcs)
|
|
. make list of contributors, include travis
|
|
. alias .j='just --justfile ~/.justfile --working-directory ~'
|
|
. lay out the structure of the code, mention tests, give tips
|
|
for contributing
|
|
- vim and emacs syntax hilighting (use makefile syntax hilighting for now)
|
|
- make sure there isn't any unused code
|
|
- ask users to contribute their justfiles as tests
|
|
- try to get some users
|
|
. facebook friends
|
|
. irc
|
|
. r/rust
|
|
|
|
enhancements:
|
|
|
|
- colored error messages
|
|
- save result of commands in variables
|
|
- multi line strings (maybe not in recipe interpolations)
|
|
- raw strings
|
|
- iteration: {{x for x in y}}
|
|
- allow calling recipes in a justfile in a different directory:
|
|
. just ../foo # ../justfile:foo
|
|
. just xyz/foo # xyz/justfile:foo
|
|
. just xyz/ # xyz/justfile:DEFAULT
|
|
- allow setting and exporting environment variables
|
|
- indentation or slash for line continuation
|
|
- figure out some way to allow changing directories in
|
|
plain recipes
