run.sh is a template Bash script that can be incorporated into any
code base to run arbitrary command line tasks. It's most useful for
people who prefer to use the command line. It's similar to
Make,
just, and
Invoke, but it's simpler.
run.sh can be set up to provide a consistent CLI for any tool. For
example, suppose you have a code base that has C++ code and Python code.
You could set up run.sh to have the following tasks:
# Format source code:
run fmt:cc
run fmt:py
# Lint source code:
run lint:cc
run lint:py
# Run test suites:
run test:cc
run test:py
You get the idea. As you can see above, I typically create an alias for
the script in ~/.bashrc:
alias run="./run.sh"
Check out run.sh to get a better idea of how the script
works and how you could set it up.
