targets v

a task orchestration and composition framework

Overview

Targets takes the concept of function composition and surfaces it to the command-line. It enables you, the author of the next great CLI tool, to take many small single-purpose functions and to safely compose them into complex but reliable workflows using a succint declarative syntax.

Use Targets to build common tooling for your team/users and to reduce complex workflows into reliable tasks and which are simple to operate on.

TODO list for alpha branch - complete before landing

• sota based workflow orchestration
• pdn support for target data loader
• dry run support
• strengthen streaming output support - some commands are running silently!
• refine reported and output modes
• recursive submachine support - non-trivial but doable
• many many more unit tests
• pdn support for config (via answers)
• update all targets documentation
• remove sugarmerge from answers? fork? optional merge fn? seems orthogonal now... adds undue complexity
• bake-in dottle support? at least kill remaining dottle bugs - parallel branch issue is show stopper.
• resolve fn targets at compile time?
• allow shellspec to support "other" choice override
• new logo! re-brand opportunity
