This is very similar to https://github.com/rumkin/bake project, but slightly simpler implementation. No additional folders or files, just a Bakefile with functions required.

If you want to use the interactive menu, install https://github.com/p-gen/smenu smenu is installable via apt-get in debian/ubuntu based distros.

Install

Quick install:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moonq/bake/main/bake > ~/.local/bin/bake
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/bake
echo '. <( bake __autocomplete __ )' >> ~/.bashrc

Update installation

Run bake __update__

Install from repository

Clone the repository.

Run the command: ./bake in this folder. Installation prefix is required to install, for example: ./bake install ~/.local/ Finally, insert the autocomplete as explained in installer.

Note: you can also just take the bake executable, and place in PATH, and run . <( bake __autocomplete __ ) to enable bash autocomplete.

Usage

Create a Bakefile:

help() { # This help. Note the exact function declaration + docs format.
    _menu
}

default() { # Default function will be run if present, and no target passed
  # Extra help to be read with -h
    echo "I'm running!"
}

build() { # Build by project
    echo building..
    echo I can get arguments: "$1"
    echo I have global variables: "$somevar"
}

deploy() { # Deploy project
    build # I dont have similar dependency tree as GNU make, all commands are run
    if [[ ! -f somebinary.bin ]]; then
       # if build produces a file, we can check and not run building again..
       build
    fi
    echo Now deploying...
    _subcommand
}

_subcommand() {
    # if function starts with _, it's not listed as target, and
    # can be called by other functions
    echo subcommand called somewhere
}

echo foo # NOTE: Bakefile gets sourced when read!
somevar=value

run bake to get list of targets.
run bake build argument to launch target with arguments
