task

Built this after support/product kept asking "when did we ship X?" while helping users. Needed a way to instantly answer "did v2.3.1 include that auth fix?" or "which release has this commit?" wtg takes any GitHub URL (commit, issue, PR, file) or identifier and tells you which release first shipped it. Works with remote GitHub repos without cloning, but also runs locally on any git repo (with graceful degradation when GitHub isn't available). Smart caching and snarky messages included. Try it without installing: uvx --from wtg-cli wtg https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/1322 Written in Rust, packaged as Python CLI for easy distribution. Would love feedback!

Funny coincidence, I use this often and just opened an issue earlier today: https://github.com/go-task/task/issues/2303 :)

I'm the creator and one of the maintainers of an alternative to Make: Task. It has existed for 8+ years and still evolving. Give it a try if you're looking for something fresh, and don't hesitate to ask any questions. https://taskfile.dev/ https://github.com/go-task/task

Or: - Task (Go): https://github.com/go-task/task - Cake (C#): https://github.com/cake-build/cake - Rake (Ruby): https://github.com/ruby/rake Or an entirely different concept: Makedown, as discussed on HN 8 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41825344

So many tools in this space! This one looks a little bit like go-task, but it seems maybe better for production workflows because if timeout support, while go-task seems more aimed to command line work/makefile replacement. —- https://github.com/go-task/task

If you're looking to an alternative, you could take a look at Task: https://taskfile.dev/ https://github.com/go-task/task

go-task is a very good task runner. Better than “just" IMO. I am now using go-task with every project. Right after creating the gitignore, I create the Taskfile. https://github.com/go-task/task

I am surprised nobody is mentioning go-task https://github.com/go-task/task. It is a great project. I love the management of dotfiles, the inclusion of other Taskfiles, the namespacing, the fact it is an easily downloadable binary that runs the same on Linux, macOS AND Windows. It is the superior option.

I also like https://github.com/go-task/task

Even [task](https://github.com/go-task/task) (a tiny task-runner tool) does that... I don't know any build system that doesn't. Perhaps the OP means full incremental compilation, which requires "cooperation" from the compilers, really (or the build tool actually parsing the language's AST like Gradle does, I believe). Or in the case of Bazel, the build author explicitly explaining to the build what the fine-grained dependencies are (I don't use Bazel so I may be wrong, happy to be corrected).
