Litr (Language Independent Task Runner), lets you configure and then run any tasks you want for any language. Define scripts, run executables or execute commands on your machine. Litr serves as an abstraction layer to combine different strategies into one tool.

Attention: This software is currently in alpha ⚠️

Install the tool via Homebrew. Currently, a simple installation is only supported under macOS (universal binary for intel and silicon). For other platforms you need to build from source. Support for other platforms will follow [#37, #38].

# On macOS
brew tap krieselreihe/litr
brew install litr

Define some commands, to make it feel real the example wraps this project with C++ and CMake:

[commands]
update = "git pull"
build = [
  "cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=%{target} -B build/%{target}",
  "ninja -C build/%{target}"
]
test = "cd build/%{target}/src/tests && ctest"

[params.target]
shortcut = "t"
description = "Define the application build target."
type = ["debug", "release"]
default = "debug"

Run them all:

litr --target=debug update,build,test
