Ruke

A dead-simple automation tool. Inspired by Makefile and Justfile.

[!TIP] Looking for a Dockerfile/docker-compose.yml generator? gorvus is waiting for you!

🔑 Key Features

• Fancy interface: good experience, clear instructions and colored texts are what you get.
• Lightning speed: written in Rust, when you run it, it looks like a rocket.
• Easy configuration: unlike other command runners, Ruke uses TOML so you don't need to learn a new language.

🛠 Usage

Pre-requisites: Rust and Cargo.

Installation

cargo install ruke

Getting Started

First things first, you need to define your tasks in a Ruke.toml file.

Hopefully, Ruke can help you, just run

ruke init

With your Ruke.toml ready, now you need to run a specific task.

The syntax for running a task is ruke [target] where target is the task you wanna execute. Try this:

ruke

Obs.: the target task "main" is the default, therefore if you run ruke, it's the same as running ruke main.

Mastering the CLI

Available commands

• ruke init - Create a Ruke.toml file with a task within
• ruke list - List existing tasks
• ruke new - Create a new task (interactive mode)
• ruke add - Add a command to an existing task (interactive mode)
• ruke remove - Remove an existing task (interactive mode)
• ruke [target] - Run a specific task

Aliases

• ruke init, ruke i
• ruke list, ruke ls
• ruke new, ruke n
• ruke add, ruke a
• ruke remove, ruke rm

Arguments and flags

If you run ruke --help you'll see nice guide, and if you want help for a specific command, try ruke help [command].

Examples

ruke list --minimal will output less information (just tasks name) than ruke list.

ruke new -n "task-name" will create a new task named "task-name".

ruke add -n "task-name" -c "echo command-to-be-executed" will add the specified command in the task "task-name".

ruke remove -n "task-name" -f path/to/Ruke.toml will remove the task "task-name" from the Ruke.toml at an unexpected directory.

ruke build will run the task "build" and show you the outputs, while the ruke build -q will run silently.

Mastering the Ruke file

I suggest you to use one of these two names: Ruke.toml or Rukefile, however, as long as you write a valid TOML, you can name the file whatever you want and pass it with the -f --file <FILE> flag.

Look at the full spec of TOML v1.0.0.

[tasks.main]                       # defines a task with an unique name
commands = ["go run cmd/main.go"]  # defines a command array to be executed sequentially

[tasks.dev]
commands = ["pnpm dev"]

[tasks.build]
commands = ["go build -o gorvus cmd/main.go", "./gorvus"]
