Support for remote file

[romanzdk]

I would like to have "company" wide Justfile with ability to override certain tasks on per-project level. I imagine I would put the "master" Justfile into some repository and then in local repository just reference this master one using URL similarly as Taskfile does - https://taskfile.dev/experiments/remote-taskfiles/

I imagine I would put the "master" Justfile into some repository and then in local repository just reference this master one

In this case, you could set up your local repository to pull in the repository containing your company-wide justfile as a git submodule. Then your local justfile can reference the company-wide justfile by relative file path in import or mod.

Yeah, aware of that, thanks but I do not find this setup user friendly as we would need to include the submodule in every repository and I do not fancy that. I believe referencing file via url should be fairly straightforward.

There's currently a pretty decent workaround for this, see the docs I added in #2175. I'm currently not sure I want to support remote justfiles directly, since the workaround is pretty simple, and I'm not entirely sure how caching would work (download once and reuse? always download?).
