I have been using it for a while and it has been useful. One feature that I am still missing is to be able to stack PR across repositories. In other words, I want this stack to con…

Make is one of my favorite tools, I believe the author built a simple and robust system. I have certain degree of envy. I made something similar but with Ansible wrapped as an uv s…

Could you please provides examples on how to do it? Specially given that the operating system calls dont return back the output of the command? Thx

This is very useful, though I would recommend using a Makefile instead. You will get a lot out of the box: completion in your shell, idempotency (in case you are interested), usefu…

Nice article, I love Make and your blog looks sharp. I would suggest to provide the beginner friendly version in which all the rules are hard coded, so that a beginner can profit a…

Summary: So why bother with Ansible in 2025? Because it gives you interesting features out of the box:1) Idempotency, 2) Drift detection, 3) a really high level ‘language’. And bec…

Congratulations on you project, hope to have once a project as succesfull as yours. I would like to clarify that I don't mean to bash Task, just tired of critiques saying that Make…

I agree with you. Make has it's quirks, specially those builtin variables ($@, $<, etc), they are ugly but useful.

I read Just's readme the other day. Basically they say Just is better than Make because in Just all targets are phony by default (something you can make easily in Make). And becaus…

Make is still king in 2025. I don't understand why someone would use Just or Taskfile instead of Make. My only hypothesis is that people believe (erroneously) that whatever is new …
