No need for .PHONY recipes! Linux, MacOS, and Windows are supported with no additional dependencies. (Although if your system doesn’t have an sh, you’ll need to choose a different shell .) Errors are specific and informative, and syntax errors are reported along with their source context. Recipes can accept command line arguments . Wherever possible, errors are resolved statically. Unknown recipes and circular dependencies are reported before anything runs. just loads .env files , making it easy to populate environment variables. Recipes can be listed from the command line . Command line completion scripts are available for most popular shells . Recipes can be written in arbitrary languages , like Python or NodeJS. just can be invoked from any subdirectory, not just the directory that contains the justfile. And much more !

Once just is installed and working, create a file named justfile in the root of your project with the following contents: recipe-name: echo 'This is a recipe!' # this is a comment\nanother-recipe: @echo 'This is another recipe.' When you invoke just it looks for file justfile in the current directory and upwards, so you can invoke it from any subdirectory of your project. The search for a justfile is case insensitive, so any case, like Justfile, JUSTFILE, or JuStFiLe, will work. just will also look for files with the name .justfile, in case you’d like to hide a justfile. Running just with no arguments runs the first recipe in the justfile: $ just\necho 'This is a recipe!'\nThis is a recipe! One or more arguments specify the recipe(s) to run: $ just another-recipe\nThis is another recipe. just prints each command to standard error before running it, which is why echo 'This is a recipe!' was printed.

Here cargo publish will only run if cargo test succeeds: publish: cargo test # tests passed, time to publish! cargo publish Recipes can depend on other recipes.

For example, to use PowerShell, launch just with --shell powershell.exe --shell-arg -c.

(Deprecated. Use windows-shell instead. windows-shell [COMMAND, ARGS…] - Set the command used to invoke recipes and evaluate backticks. Boolean settings can be written as: set NAME Which is equivalent to: set NAME := true Allow Duplicate Recipes If allow-duplicate-recipes is set to true, defining multiple recipes with the same name is not an error and the last definition is used. Defaults to false. set allow-duplicate-recipes @foo: echo foo @foo: echo bar $ just foo\nbar Dotenv Settings If dotenv-load, dotenv-filename or dotenv-path is set, just will load environment variables from a file. If dotenv-path is set, just will look for a file at the given path. Otherwise, just looks for a file named .env by default, unless dotenv-filename set, in which case the value of dotenv-filename is used. This file can be located in the same directory as your justfile or in a parent directory. The loaded variables are environment variables, not just variables, and so must be accessed using $VARIABLE_NAME in recipes and backticks. For example, if your .env file contains: # a comment, will be ignored\nDATABASE_ADDRESS=localhost:6379\nSERVER_PORT=1337 And your justfile contains: set dotenv-load serve: @echo \"Starting server with database $DATABASE_ADDRESS on port $SERVER_PORT…\" ./server --database $DATABASE_ADDRESS --port $SERVER_PORT just serve will output: $ just serve\nStarting server with database localhost:6379 on port 1337…\n./server --database $DATABASE_ADDRESS --port $SERVER_PORT Export The export setting causes all just variables to be exported as environment variables. Defaults to false. set export a := \"hello\" @foo b: echo $a echo $b $ just foo goodbye\nhello\ngoodbye Positional Arguments If positional-arguments is true, recipe arguments will be passed as positional arguments to commands. For linewise recipes, argument $0 will be the name of the recipe. For example, running this recipe: set positional-arguments @foo bar: echo $0 echo $1 Will produce the following output: $ just foo hello\nfoo\nhello When using an sh-compatible shell, such as bash or zsh, $@ expands to the positional arguments given to the recipe, starting from one. When used within double quotes as \"$@\", arguments including whitespace will be passed on as if they were double-quoted. That is, \"$@\" is equivalent to \"$1\" \"$2\"… When there are no positional parameters, \"$@\" and $@ expand to nothing (i.e., they are removed). This example recipe will print arguments one by one on separate lines: set positional-arguments @test *args='': bash -c 'while (( \"$#\" )); do echo - $1; shift; done' -- \"$@\" Running it with two arguments: $ just test foo \"bar baz\"\n- foo\n- bar baz Shell The shell setting controls the command used to invoke recipe lines and backticks. Shebang recipes are unaffected. # use python3 to execute recipe lines and backticks\nset shell := [\"python3\", \"-c\"] # use print to capture result of evaluation\nfoos := `print(\"foo\" * 4)` foo: print(\"Snake snake snake snake.\") print(\"{{foos}}\") just passes the command to be executed as an argument. Many shells will need an additional flag, often -c, to make them evaluate the first argument. Windows Shell just uses sh on Windows by default. To use a different shell on Windows, use windows-shell: set windows-shell := [\"powershell.exe\", \"-NoLogo\", \"-Command\"] hello: Write-Host \"Hello, world!\" See powershell.just for a justfile that uses PowerShell on all platforms. Windows PowerShell set windows-powershell uses the legacy powershell.exe binary, and is no longer recommended. See the windows-shell setting above for a more flexible way to control which shell is used on Windows. just uses sh on Windows by default. To use powershell.exe instead, set windows-powershell to true. set windows-powershell := true hello: Write-Host \"Hello, world!\" Python 3 set shell := [\"python3\", \"-c\"] Bash set shell := [\"bash\", \"-uc\"] Z Shell set shell := [\"zsh\", \"-uc\"] Fish set shell := [\"fish\", \"-c\"] Nushell set shell := [\"nu\", \"-c\"] If you want to change the default table mode to light: set shell := ['nu', '-m', 'light', '-c'] Nushell was written in Rust, and has cross-platform support for Windows / macOS and Linux .","breadcrumbs":"Introduction » Features » Settings » Settings","id":"25","title":"Settings"},"26":{"body":"Comments immediately preceding a recipe will appear in just --list: # build stuff\nbuild: ./bin/build # test stuff\ntest: ./bin/test $ just --list\nAvailable recipes: build # build stuff test # test stuff","breadcrumbs":"Introduction » Features » Documentation Comments » Documentation Comments","id":"26","title":"Documentation Comments"},"27":{"body":"Variables, strings, concatenation, path joining, and substitution using {{…}} are supported: tmpdir := `mktemp -d`\nversion := \"0.2.7\"\ntardir := tmpdir / \"awesomesauce-\" + version\ntarball := tardir + \".tar.gz\" publish: rm -f {{tarball}} mkdir {{tardir}} cp README.md *.c {{tardir}} tar zcvf {{tarball}} {{tardir}} scp {{tarball}} me@server.com:release/ rm -rf {{tarball}} {{tardir}} Joining Paths The / operator can be used to join two strings with a slash: foo := \"a\" / \"b\" $ just --evaluate foo\na/b Note that a / is added even if one is already present: foo := \"a/\"\nbar := foo / \"b\" $ just --evaluate bar\na//b Absolute paths can also be constructed1.5.0: foo := / \"b\" $ just --evaluate foo\n/b The / operator uses the / character, even on Windows.

System Information arch() — Instruction set architecture. Possible values are: \"aarch64\", \"arm\", \"asmjs\", \"hexagon\", \"mips\", \"msp430\", \"powerpc\", \"powerpc64\", \"s390x\", \"sparc\", \"wasm32\", \"x86\", \"x86_64\", and \"xcore\". num_cpus()1.15.0 - Number of logical CPUs. os() — Operating system. Possible values are: \"android\", \"bitrig\", \"dragonfly\", \"emscripten\", \"freebsd\", \"haiku\", \"ios\", \"linux\", \"macos\", \"netbsd\", \"openbsd\", \"solaris\", and \"windows\". os_family() — Operating system family; possible values are: \"unix\" and \"windows\". For example: system-info: @echo \"This is an {{arch()}} machine\". $ just system-info\nThis is an x86_64 machine The os_family() function can be used to create cross-platform justfiles that work on various operating systems. For an example, see cross-platform.just file. Environment Variables env_var(key) — Retrieves the environment variable with name key, aborting if it is not present. home_dir := env_var('HOME') test: echo \"{{home_dir}}\" $ just\n/home/user1 env_var_or_default(key, default) — Retrieves the environment variable with name key, returning default if it is not present. env(key)1.15.0 — Alias for env_var(key). env(key, default)1.15.0 — Alias for env_var_or_default(key, default). Invocation Directory invocation_directory() - Retrieves the absolute path to the current directory when just was invoked, before just changed it (chdir’d) prior to executing commands. On Windows, invocation_directory() uses cygpath to convert the invocation directory to a Cygwin-compatible /-separated path. Use invocation_directory_native() to return the verbatim invocation directory on all platforms. For example, to call rustfmt on files just under the “current directory” (from the user/invoker’s perspective), use the following rule: rustfmt: find {{invocation_directory()}} -name \\*.rs -exec rustfmt {} \\; Alternatively, if your command needs to be run from the current directory, you could use (e.g.): build: cd {{invocation_directory()}}; ./some_script_that_needs_to_be_run_from_here invocation_directory_native() - Retrieves the absolute path to the current directory when just was invoked, before just changed it (chdir’d) prior to executing commands. Justfile and Justfile Directory justfile() - Retrieves the path of the current justfile. justfile_directory() - Retrieves the path of the parent directory of the current justfile. For example, to run a command relative to the location of the current justfile: script: ./{{justfile_directory()}}/scripts/some_script Just Executable just_executable() - Absolute path to the just executable. For example: executable: @echo The executable is at: {{just_executable()}} $ just\nThe executable is at: /bin/just Just Process ID just_pid() - Process ID of the just executable. For example: pid: @echo The process ID is: {{ just_pid() }} $ just\nThe process ID is: 420 String Manipulation quote(s) - Replace all single quotes with '\\'' and prepend and append single quotes to s. This is sufficient to escape special characters for many shells, including most Bourne shell descendants. replace(s, from, to) - Replace all occurrences of from in s to to. replace_regex(s, regex, replacement) - Replace all occurrences of regex in s to replacement. Regular expressions are provided by the Rust regex crate . See the syntax documentation for usage examples. Capture groups are supported. The replacement string uses Replacement string syntax . trim(s) - Remove leading and trailing whitespace from s. trim_end(s) - Remove trailing whitespace from s. trim_end_match(s, pat) - Remove suffix of s matching pat. trim_end_matches(s, pat) - Repeatedly remove suffixes of s matching pat. trim_start(s) - Remove leading whitespace from s. trim_start_match(s, pat) - Remove prefix of s matching pat. trim_start_matches(s, pat) - Repeatedly remove prefixes of s matching pat. Case Conversion capitalize(s)1.7.0 - Convert first character of s to uppercase and the rest to lowercase. kebabcase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to kebab-case. lowercamelcase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to lowerCamelCase. lowercase(s) - Convert s to lowercase. shoutykebabcase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to SHOUTY-KEBAB-CASE. shoutysnakecase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to SHOUTY_SNAKE_CASE. snakecase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to snake_case. titlecase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to Title Case. uppercamelcase(s)1.7.0 - Convert s to UpperCamelCase. uppercase(s) - Convert s to uppercase. Path Manipulation Fallible absolute_path(path) - Absolute path to relative path in the working directory. absolute_path(\"./bar.txt\") in directory /foo is /foo/bar.txt. canonicalize(path)1.24.0 - Canonicalize path by resolving symlinks and removing ., .., and extra /s where possible. extension(path) - Extension of path. extension(\"/foo/bar.txt\") is txt. file_name(path) - File name of path with any leading directory components removed. file_name(\"/foo/bar.txt\") is bar.txt. file_stem(path) - File name of path without extension. file_stem(\"/foo/bar.txt\") is bar. parent_directory(path) - Parent directory of path. parent_directory(\"/foo/bar.txt\") is /foo. without_extension(path) - path without extension. without_extension(\"/foo/bar.txt\") is /foo/bar. These functions can fail, for example if a path does not have an extension, which will halt execution. Infallible clean(path) - Simplify path by removing extra path separators, intermediate . components, and .. where possible. clean(\"foo//bar\") is foo/bar, clean(\"foo/..\") is ., clean(\"foo/./bar\") is foo/bar. join(a, b…) - This function uses / on Unix and \\ on Windows, which can be lead to unwanted behavior. The / operator, e.g., a / b, which always uses /, should be considered as a replacement unless \\s are specifically desired on Windows. Join path a with path b. join(\"foo/bar\", \"baz\") is foo/bar/baz. Accepts two or more arguments. Filesystem Access path_exists(path) - Returns true if the path points at an existing entity and false otherwise. Traverses symbolic links, and returns false if the path is inaccessible or points to a broken symlink. Error Reporting error(message) - Abort execution and report error message to user. UUID and Hash Generation blake3(string)1.25.0 - Return BLAKE3 hash of string as hexadecimal string. blake3_file(path)1.25.0 - Return BLAKE3 hash of file at path as hexadecimal string. sha256(string) - Return the SHA-256 hash of string as hexadecimal string. sha256_file(path) - Return SHA-256 hash of file at path as hexadecimal string. uuid() - Generate a random version 4 UUID. Semantic Versions semver_matches(version, requirement)1.16.0 - Check whether a semantic version , e.g., \"0.1.0\" matches a requirement, e.g., \">=0.1.0\", returning \"true\" if so and \"false\" otherwise. XDG Directories1.23.0 These functions return paths to user-specific directories for things like configuration, data, caches, executables, and the user’s home directory. These functions follow the XDG Base Directory Specification , and are implemented with the dirs crate. cache_directory() - The user-specific cache directory. config_directory() - The user-specific configuration directory. config_local_directory() - The local user-specific configuration directory. data_directory() - The user-specific data directory. data_local_directory() - The local user-specific data directory. executable_directory() - The user-specific executable directory. home_directory() - The user’s home directory.","breadcrumbs":"Introduction » Features » Functions » Functions","id":"30","title":"Functions"},"31":{"body":"Recipes may be annotated with attributes that change their behavior.

[unix]1.8.0 Enable recipe on Unixes. (Includes MacOS). [windows]1.8.0 Enable recipe on Windows.

By default, recipes are always enabled. A recipe with one or more configuration attributes will only be enabled when one or more of those configurations is active. This can be used to write justfiles that behave differently depending on which operating system they run on. The run recipe in this justfile will compile and run main.c, using a different C compiler and using the correct output binary name for that compiler depending on the operating system: [unix]\nrun: cc main.c ./a.out [windows]\nrun: cl main.c main.exe Disabling Changing Directory1.9.0 just normally executes recipes with the current directory set to the directory that contains the justfile. This can be disabled using the [no-cd] attribute. This can be used to create recipes which use paths relative to the invocation directory, or which operate on the current directory. For example, this commit recipe: [no-cd]\ncommit file: git add {{file}} git commit Can be used with paths that are relative to the current directory, because [no-cd] prevents just from changing the current directory when executing commit. Requiring Confirmation for Recipes1.17.0 just normally executes all recipes unless there is an error. The [confirm] attribute allows recipes require confirmation in the terminal prior to running. This can be overridden by passing --yes to just, which will automatically confirm any recipes marked by this attribute.

On Unix-like operating systems, including Linux and MacOS, shebang recipes are executed by saving the recipe body to a file in a temporary directory, marking the file as executable, and executing it. The OS then parses the shebang line into a command line and invokes it, including the path to the file. For example, if a recipe starts with #!/usr/bin/env bash, the final command that the OS runs will be something like /usr/bin/env bash /tmp/PATH_TO_SAVED_RECIPE_BODY. Keep in mind that different operating systems split shebang lines differently. Windows does not support shebang lines. On Windows, just splits the shebang line into a command and arguments, saves the recipe body to a file, and invokes the split command and arguments, adding the path to the saved recipe body as the final argument. For example, on Windows, if a recipe starts with #! py, the final command the OS runs will be something like py C:\\Temp\\PATH_TO_SAVED_RECIPE_BODY.","breadcrumbs":"Introduction » Features » Writing Recipes in Other Languages » Writing Recipes in Other Languages","id":"40","title":"Writing Recipes in Other Languages"},"41":{"body":"If you’re writing a bash shebang recipe, consider adding set -euxo pipefail: foo: #!/usr/bin/env bash set -euxo pipefail hello='Yo' echo \"$hello from Bash!\" It isn’t strictly necessary, but set -euxo pipefail turns on a few useful features that make bash shebang recipes behave more like normal, linewise just recipe: set -e makes bash exit if a command fails. set -u makes bash exit if a variable is undefined. set -x makes bash print each script line before it’s run. set -o pipefail makes bash exit if a command in a pipeline fails. This is bash-specific, so isn’t turned on in normal linewise just recipes. Together, these avoid a lot of shell scripting gotchas. Shebang Recipe Execution on Windows On Windows, shebang interpreter paths containing a / are translated from Unix-style paths to Windows-style paths using cygpath, a utility that ships with Cygwin . For example, to execute this recipe on Windows: echo: #!/bin/sh echo \"Hello!\" The interpreter path /bin/sh will be translated to a Windows-style path using cygpath before being executed. If the interpreter path does not contain a / it will be executed without being translated.
