Goke is a build automation tool, similar to Make, but without the Makefile clutter.

• Uses YAML to declare build configurations, instead of the Makefile syntax
• Built in Go, making it a blazing fast, multi-threaded tool
• Support for global hooks [Read more]
• Intuitive environment variable declaration at any position in the configuration
• And more!

global:
  environment:
    FOO: "foo"
    BAR: "$(echo 'BAR')"
    BAZ: "$(FOO)"

  events:
    before_each_run:
      - "echo 'before each 1'"
    after_each_run:
      - "echo 'after each 1'"
      - "greet-pepper"
    before_each_task:
      - "echo 'before task'"
    after_each_task:
      - "echo 'after task'"

greet-pepper:
  run:
    - "echo 'Hello Pepper'"

greet-loki:
  run:
    - "echo 'Hello Loki'"

greet-cats:
  files: [cmd/cli/*]
  run:
    - "echo 'Hello Frey'"
    - "echo 'Hello Sunny'"
    - "greet-loki"

From your project directory, you can now issue the following commands with the configuration shown above:

$ goke greet-cats
$ goke greet-loki
$ goke greet-pepper

Additional flags:

• --watch: Runs the given command in watch mode, meaning it will watch the files under files: and rerun the command whenever they change
• --force: Runs the given command regardless whether the files under files: have changed
• --no-cache : Goke caches the given configuration to speed up execution and avoid parsing the configuration on every run. Clear the cache if you are changing your configuration

Goke has some unit test coverage. PR’s are welcome to add more tests.

Run tests with:

go test ./internal

This project started a way for me to practice Go, but then I decided to turn it into a full fledged tool that can serve everyone.

I would really appreciate your contributions, either through PR’s, bug reporting, feature requests, etc.

For bug reports, please specify the exact steps on how to reproduce the problem.
