Lack of end-to-end examples

[john-cd]

Just examples on GitHub are scattered.

Ask

Consider adding end-to-end examples for common scenarios, e.g. in https://just.systems/man/en/examples.html

1. Formatting / linting / building / running Rust code + building mdBook

See for example:

https://github.com/john-cd/rust_howto https://github.com/john-cd/rust_howto/tree/main/scripts https://github.com/john-cd/rust_howto/tree/main/scripts/code

Link to https://github.com/casey/rust-cli-boilerplate/blob/master/justfile ?

2. Python with poetry / uv - similar to e.g. https://github.com/dovahcrow/patchify.py/blob/master/Justfile
3. Node
4. Go
5. Java
6. Git commands - similar to e.g. https://github.com/Moldy-Community/moldyup/blob/main/JustFile ...

Also move

https://just.systems/man/en/python-recipes-with-uv.html

under examples

There's an examples directory, which has some example justfiles.

We could do things like include a rust.just file, which shows example recipes for a Rust project.

I wouldn't be super opposed to this, but on the other hand, for languages I'm less familiar with, this might turn into a review burden and get out-of-date.

Maybe we need to find a few good examples on Github.

The documentation link to https://github.com/search?q=path%3A**%2Fjustfile&type=code returns a lot of repetitive stuff.

[casey]

I think that's a great idea. Linking to justfiles of existing projects would mean we don't need keep examples up to date, and can cover a bunch of different languages and approaches.

[john-cd]

I have been trying to locate a good example of justfile on Windows / running cross-platform on Linux and Windows.

Do you know of any?

[casey]

I don't, unfortunately. Maybe include windows in the github search?
