JUST

A big THANK YOU to Casey for his just command line tool. Its streamlined lots of my development workflow across many different projects.

I'd also like to acknowledge the work that Greg did in just that allowed duplicate recipes. Greg also architected the Github Workflow for justprep and created the brew formula for easy installation of the Crystal implementation. THANK YOU Greg!

Casey's just utility is such a useful tool; but, it has one thing that bothered me - the inability to inherently include recipes from other files. For those of us who work on many projects in parallel the ability to share recipes (effective code reuse / modularization) is an important feature. Its advantages are:

  • provides for smaller more easily maintained files
  • more cohesive file content
  • shared recipes between projects

Allowing this flexibility also opens up some use cases which are not currently supported by the just utility. That is why I created the justprep program.
