# Just, Make, Shake
|
|
|
|
After many years of relying on [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make) for automating project tasks,
|
|
we now primarily use [just](https://github.com/casey/just) instead.
|
|
`just` is better enough, and clean consolidated efficient project automation is so valuable, that this is worthwhile -
|
|
even though `just` requires installing and lacks Make's file dependency tracking, for now.
|
|
|
|
`Justfile` in the main repo's top directory is the starting point for scripts automating hledger project tasks.
|
|
Install and run `just` to list them. I suggest using a shorter command alias `j`. Eg:
|
|
|
|
```cli
|
|
$ alias j=just
|
|
$ j # list all scripts
|
|
$ j h test # list scripts mentioning "test"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Makefiles are still used in a number of subdirectories, like `site/` and `finance/`.
|
|
|
|
## Shake
|
|
|
|
`Shake.hs` in the main repo's top directory complements the Justfile.
|
|
Tasks requiring file dependencies and/or more complex code, such as building documentation and the web site,
|
|
are usually scripted here, often with a corresponding alias in `Justfile`.
|
|
Eg:
|
|
|
|
```cli
|
|
$ ./Shake.hs # compile it for speed and git branch independence. Or: just Shake
|
|
$ ./Shake # list scripts
|
|
$ j site # runs the `just site` which calls `./Shake site` to do the work
|
|
$ j -n site # just --dry-run, show the commands that `just site` will run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## tools
|
|
|
|
Additional helper scripts and tools are kept in the `tools/` subdirectory.
