Hi HN!

A lot of times I end up with sets of commands I want to run in a project directory: building packages, running ansible to deploy things, cleaning up files, etc.

Makefiles always felt rather overkill for this and I like having just a YAML file with the name, description, and commands that are available and for a menu to display with that information.

This is that program. I had originally written it many years ago in Perl. I have been learning Go and this seemed like a great project to port.

I hope you find it useful, thanks for reading!

No variables? No catching output? No automatic path detection? No delay?
