Simplify the usage of containers
Project description
Get Started
Makim (or makim) is based on make and focus on improve the way to define
tasks and dependencies. Instead of using the Makefile format, it uses yaml
format.
The idea of this project is to offer a way to define tasks and dependencies with
some control options, like conditionals if.
It allows a very easy way to define texts for documentation and extra parameters for each task.

Features
- Help text as first-class in the
.makim.yamlspecification. It can be used by tasks and arguments. - Tasks have an option for arguments.
- Tasks have an option for dependencies.
- Dependencies can call a task with specific arguments.
- Dependencies can have a conditional control flow (
if). - Allow the creation of groups, so the tasks can be organized by topics.
- Tasks and groups have an option for user defined variables and/or environment variables.
- Access arguments, variables or environment variables via template (using Jinja2).
- Option for using dot environment files using
env-filekey.
How to use it
First you need to place the config file .makim.yaml in the root of your
project. This is an example of a configuration file:
version: 1.0.0
groups:
default:
env-file: .env
tasks:
clean:
help: Use this task to clean up temporary files
args:
all:
type: bool
action: store_true
help: Remove all files that are tracked by git
run: |
echo "remove file X"
build:
help: Build the program
args:
clean:
type: bool
action: store_true
help: if not set, the clean dependency will not be triggered.
dependencies:
- task: clean
if: {% raw %}${{ args.clean == true }}{% endraw %}
run: |
echo "build file x"
echo "build file y"
echo "build file z"
Some examples of how to use it:
-
run the
buildtask:makim build -
run the
cleantask:makim clean -
run the
buildtask with thecleanflag:makim build --clean
The help menu for the .makim.yaml file would looks like this:
$ makim --help
usage: MakIm [--help] [--version] [--config-file MAKIM_FILE] [task]
MakIm is a tool that helps you to organize and simplify your helper commands.

options:
--help, -h
Show the help menu
--version
Show the version of the installed MakIm tool.
