    [$] Just: a command runner

    Date:

    Description:
    Over time, many Linux users wind up with a collection of aliases,
    shell scripts, and makefiles to run simple commands (or a series of
    commands) that are often used, but challenging to remember and
    annoying to type out at length. The just command runner is a
    Rust-based utility that just does one thing and does it well: it reads
    recipes from a text file (aptly called a "justfile"), and runs the
    commands from an invoked recipe. Rather than accumulating a library
    of one-off shell scripts over time, just provides a cross-platform tool
    with a framework and well-documented syntax for collecting and
    documenting tasks that makes it useful for solo users and
    collaborative projects.
