bakefile

​

Why bakefile?

• Reusable - Makefile and Justfile work well, but reusing tasks across projects is hard. bakefile makes tasks Python class methods, so you inherit and share them like any other code.
• Python - Write Python instead of a DSL. Real language features, type checking, and the rest of Python’s tooling. ctx.run() still handles normal CLI commands through subprocess.
• Language-agnostic - Tasks are Python, but the commands they run can target any language (Go, Rust, JS, etc.).

A taste

from bake import Bakebook, command, console

bakebook = Bakebook()


@bakebook.command()
def hello(name: str = "world"):
    console.echo(f"Hello {name}!")

bake hello --name Alice
# Hello Alice!
