ake zef:raku-community-modules last updated on 2022-06-27

ake

ake is a make-a-like implemented in Raku. It was inspired by rake.

Installation

Ake is easily installable with zef:

zef install ake

If you are using rakubrew in shim mode you will need to run rakubrew rehash to make the ake executable available.

Current status

Ake is fully-functional but may lack some advanced features. Feature requests and PRs are welcome!

Example

Create a file named Akefile with these contents:

task 'buy-food', {
    say 'Bought a salad.'
}

task 'shower', {
    say 'Showered.'
}

task 'morning' => <shower buy-food>;

task 'dinner' => <buy-food>, {
    say 'Yummy!'
}

Then you will be able to run ake from the same directory (e.g. ake morning).
